Greg Keeffe is an internationally renowned urban designer. His expertise is in urban resilience, in particular climate-proof cities, net zero neighbourhoods and urban agriculture. Through the EU CityZEN project Greg worked to develop future focussed methodologies for carbon transition through stakeholder participation, and from this has developed a large number of urban design strategies for neighbourhoods around the world, in cities such as Amsterdam, Sevilla, Tokyo and Sydney and also in smaller towns such as Amerfoort and Roselare. Recently he has worked more directly with supermarket retailers and chicken famers to develop innovative solutions to reduce the impact of food production.
