A passionate advocate for compact city design, Madonna looks to foster places that are accessible, community-focused and connected to their surrounds.

“Cities are dynamic places, constantly shifting and responding to their changing surroundings. For me, working in this space is about both getting the basics right and finding excitement in the small things that make each city, and the spaces within it, unique.
