Eymund Diegel is an Urban Planner specialized in the mapping and analysis of changing urban, rural, and natural habitat systems. His expertise includes environmental and transportation planning, infrastructure network mapping, siting studies for new industrial facilities, polluted site cleanups, wetlands and ecosystem remediation, rapid urbanization management, and sustainable metropolitan structure planning.
