Cian is passionate about all things planning. In 2013 he gained an MSC in International planning from the Bartlett School of Planning at UCL.
Over the past four years he has held a number of research positions and has written on a range of subjects within politics and planning. In 2015, Cian became a Founding Director of Planning Futures in order to promote better planning policies and an improved planning system.
He recently authored the first report from Planning Futures entitled Outer London Town Centres: A New Approach. He is currently working on our forward research programme, which includes our new Local Government Series: Policy & Process. He regularly writes on the Planning Futures blog, which is available on our website.
Cian is particularly interested in the governance issues surrounding the planning process and in topics such as community planning and mega infrastructure delivery.
In addition to his planning interests, he has a keen interest in Politics and Governance issues and holds a master’s degree in Political Science and Sociology from the National University of Ireland, Galway.
