- Business
Tim Williams is a passionate advocate and expert in designing, procuring and delivering better cities.
Originally from the UK, Tim was a founding member of the Blair Government’s Prime Minister’s delivery unit, which drove significant policy reforms to British Government services, and served as special adviser on urban development, city strategy and housing to successive UK ministers. From there, he advised both national and regional authorities on the development and regeneration of East London, ensuring the UK achieved a lasting dividend from its investment in the 2012 London Olympics.
Since arriving Australia since 2010, Tim has continued his advocacy for better cities across senior public facing roles, including the Committee for Sydney, and serves as a Cities advocate for Grimshaw Architects among many other roles.
As Australian cities face rising populations, continued infrastructure development needs and an aspiration for our nation to step up as a senior middle power economy in the world, how should we move forward in meeting these challenges?
Tim Williams joined Smarter Cities to debate this question.
