Global engineering and infrastructure advisory firm Aurecon has appointed Mieszko Iwaskow as its Transport Planning Leader. Based in New Zealand, Mieszko?s rich industry experience in transport planning, project delivery, team leadership and management effectively complements the breadth and depth of expertise offered by the growing global team of transport planners that he will lead at Aurecon.

?The design of transport systems, and ensuring they integrate with other social and transport infrastructure, is an increasingly complex process, which has been significantly disrupted by emerging technologies, unprecedented growth in urban environments and changing expectations of user experience,? said Ben Stapleton, Managing Director of Infrastructure at Aurecon.

?I?m extremely pleased to have someone of Mieszko?s experience and reputation on board. He will continue with our focus of partnering with clients to shape innovative transport planning that is centred on building local communities and economies through improved connectivity of people, places and goods.?

Commenting that transport is currently in a period of revolution not seen since the start of automobile mass production in the early 1900s, Mieszko said the fusion of emerging new technologies and digital services with transport planning gives unprecedented opportunity to advance how we grow cities and provide transport choices to people.
