West Annapolis Master Plan
Residential Architecture Magazine named David to their Hall of Fame as “the person we call to ask about cities.” In recent years he’s led planning in post-Katrina New Orleans, transformed strip malls into new suburban downtowns, and initiated a broad reappraisal of the role of density in building more livable, resilient, and equitable communities.
His recent work focuses on urban transformations, including the reemergence of the long-depressed East Franklinton neighborhood in Columbus, Ohio, as an arts/innovation district; creation of a master plan for the nine-million-square-foot, mixed-use Water Street District adjacent to downtown Tampa; and transformation of a site known as “Marshall’s Plaza” into high density, walkable, mixed-use suburban center near Boston.
David’s impact has not gone unnoticed—he’s won dozens of awards from CNU, the American Institute of Architects, the American Planning Association, and the International Downtown Association. A Fellow of the AIA, David was honored with their Thomas Jefferson Medal for “a lifetime of creating livable neighborhoods, vibrant civic spaces, and vital downtowns.”
David is the co-author of Urban Design for an Urban Century (Wiley, 2015) and co-editor (with Jason Beske) of Suburban Remix (Island Press, 2018).
