Mann helps cities and the private sector navigate the shift from simply moving cars to balanced systems that keep everyone moving. Skillfully applying national best practices to urban conditions helps him deliver transportation plans that dramatically improve the public realm, reduce traffic generated by new development, shrink parking demand, and deliver forward-looking zoning and land-use regulations. Having developed plans for cities across the Southeastern US, he’s currently working on the new walkable downtown district, Water Street Tampa.

Stantec’s Urban Places team leads transformative urban development in North America. We give our clients the benefits of a progressive boutique practice and the technical reach of a top-ten global design firm. We anchor a network of experts in mobility, planning and urban design, mixed-use architecture, resilience, real estate feasibility, smart cities, and brownfield redevelopment.
