Feel free to forward this invite to others.Please join City of Eugene Transportation Planning for a brown bag lunch presentation by James McGrath. James will share a selection of projects and images from Australia, Europe, Central America and recent work in transportation and urban design from the NW. James is a Principal at Nelson\Nygaard and a Vice President of Perkins+Will, specifically tasked with combining the best talent of both firms to support the critical needs of transit agencies and communities in the American West.
James has more than 15 years of diverse experience in the planning, design, and construction of the public realm, including light rail, bus rapid transit, streetcar corridors, active transportation networks and facilities, complete streets, bridges, and urban open spaces. He brings a unique mix of technical knowledge that spans civil and structural engineering, traffic signal design and operations, green infrastructure, station architecture, district development and construction methods to projects. Trained as an architect, landscape architect, and urban designer—but practicing within the planning and civil engineering fields—James works beyond the bounds of traditional planning and design, synthesizing ideas and leading teams toward integrated, sustainable, and refined urban infrastructure solutions. In his talk, James will share a selection of projects and images from Australia, Europe, Central America and recent work in transportation and urban design from the NW.
He is an Urban Design Forum Fellow, Vice President of the Halprin Landscapes Conservancy, an adjunct professor of architecture at the University of Oregon and Portland State University and the 2003 Bailey Fellow at the Architecture Foundation of Oregon. For his fellowship, James travelled broadly to 20 cities on three continents to study best practices in complete streets, interview design and policy professionals and document innovations in high-capacity transit systems, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, multimodal surface environments, station area development, green engineering and eco-district planning. He brought back inspiration and expertise in street design to accommodate all modes as well as glimpses into public art, informal settlement, urban habitat and housing diversity.
