Hi, I'm Lisa Manya!
Urban Planner and Researcher at Impaque Consultants Ltd.
I am a sustainability enthusiast with a background in urban and regional planning, interested to bring a positive change to the world through inclusive urban development. My passion for equity and inclusivity drives me in my work. As an urban planner and researcher with 2 years of active work experience, I'm committed to creating sustainable and inclusive urban environments. I have an understanding of the critical role that responsible development plays in our communities. In addition to this, I have participated in various urban planning assignments which range from preparation of local detailed plans for urban areas to rezoning and environmental impact assessments. These assignments have exposed me to the planning environment where there is interface between private initiatives and public policy. I am particularly passionate about urban conservation and inclusive planning in relation to public green open spaces, where I strive to harmonize the needs of people and the environment. I'm excited to connect with like-minded professionals, collaborate on meaningful projects, and contribute to the development of resilient and vibrant cities.
