Jamie Webb, Head of Benoy EMEA, has been appointed to New London Architecture’s Expert Panel for Public Realm. As part of the panel, Jamie will join industry experts looking at design, development and construction in London and responding to new policies and consultations focussing on London’s open spaces. Specifically, the group will focus on safety, diversity and wellbeing in the public realm; accessibility to and management of green and blue open spaces; and best practice in placemaking through new and existing public places that support London’s recovery and resilience.
Jamie Webb’s diverse experience spans 20 years in the UK, Asia and Middle East. He specialises in designing places to live, most notably creative mixed use solutions incorporating workspace, education, leisure and retail. As a designer, he believes successful placemaking is about seamlessly integrating mixed-use facilities into communities where people can come together and connect.
Previously Jamie worked at Squire and Partners, 10 Design and Glenn Howells Architects, where he delivered the 2007 Stirling Prize nominated Savill Garden building.
