Annika Ussel
Urban Planning Graduate
About Me I am an Urban Planning student graduating this summer 2015. I was born and raised in Mexico City, a very chaotic yet highly functional environment. I have had the opportunity to travel extensively and have lived and worked in a variety of places. This has exposed me to different ways in which space is created and understood. I have worked with a variety of stakeholders such as developers, community organizations, architects, engeneers, government officials and other disciplines. This has strenghthened my project management and communications skills. The nature of my Bachelors degree in Urban Planning has given me the necessary tools to understand the complexity of urban systems.
