Hannah Harkis
Associate

I am an urban designer with over 10 years’ experience. After studying architecture at the University of Nottingham and gaining experience in the industry, I decided to follow my passion and move into urban design. I joined the LDA Design Manchester studio in 2022 and have been leading on some exciting regeneration-focussed town centre masterplans, masterplans for new, sustainable communities, as well as producing design guidance and codes for local authorities.
I am passionate about placemaking and creating high-quality environments that work for the future and meet current needs. I really enjoy the opportunity at LDA to work on impactful projects.
In my spare time, I like to be out and about with my family and enjoy travelling.
