Greg Pasquali
Planner
Greg Pasquali is a Planner with a background in architecture and urban planning and design. His educational and project background includes:
- TOD, pedestrian, and bicycle policy development and analysis;
- context sensitive design of streets and streetscape design;
- project planning and team leadership;
- community coordination and consensus building; and,
- site planning and design.
Mr. Pasquali’s educational and professional experience has exposed him to a wide array of ideas, opportunities, and challenges in the fields of design and planning. At CD+A he has led the development of recent street design best practices guidelines documents through the San Francisco Citywide Streetscape Master Plan and Marin Transportation and Land Use Solutions Program (TPLUS) Pedestrian and Transit-Oriented Design Toolkit. His role in these projects has focused on nationwide research into best practices in multi-modal street design with a focus on the creation of high-quality pedestrian environments. Additionally, the Streetscape Master Plan and his work on Stormwater Design Guidelines for new and redevelopment projects in San Francisco have addressed the integration of green stormwater management practices into urban land uses, with a focus on implementation in the public right-of-way.
Mr. Pasquali’s guiding principle in these projects has been the sensitive integration of new planning and design with adjacent land use, local character, and socio-economic realities. Critical to the success of this guidance is that it is not only firmly rooted in these context factors, but also usable by the variety of stakeholders who will be affected by its realization, including local jurisdiction staff, designers and developers, and advocacy groups and local stakeholders.
Previous to joining CD+A, Mr. Pasquali was involved with volunteer groups and community leaders across the United States through his work with Habitat for Humanity as an organizer and leader of the Habitat Bicycle Challenge, and in many sectors of the population of Nicaragua as a Project Director for Manna Project International, developing community sports and education facilities and programs in rural communities in Nicaragua. Mr. Pasquali’s Yale thesis explored the design, social, and economic benefits and drawbacks of Cohousing communities.
