Emilia Machedon Curriculum Vitae I am an urban planner and designer fascinated by urban development in a time of global mobility. I was born on July 11th 1986 in Bucharest, Romania. I am specialized in strategic planning on several scales: regional planning and urban planning. I feel mostly challenged by complex project assignments such as airport region planning in the urbanized delta.
