It All Starts With a Plan(ner) | Development Planning with Samira & Stella

On today’s episode of The Workshop, we are joined by two members of Aplin Martin’s development planning team, Samira Khayambashi, MCIP, RPP, Senior Project Manager, and Stella Xie, MUD, Development Planner. Often confused for an infrastructure planner or even a party planner, urban planners play a highly complex role in the land development process. From submitting applications with various municipalities, liaising with technical consultants, or engaging with the public, planners are involved from project start to completion to formulate plans for a built environment to improve and sustain a lasting quality of life for the communities around them.
