Cam Lang

Urban planner, designer, development manager and active transportation advocate. I grew up working in the fruit orchards and vineyards of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario – a setting which confirmed how utterly useless a farmer I was but which also piqued my interest in land use, road safety, architecture, culturally significant landscapes, built heritage, tourism planning, and sustainability.

I have practiced in both urban and rural settings across Canada on projects ranging from master-planned communities and municipal sustainability plans to rural strategic and official plans. In the mid-to-late part of my career, I had the fortune to be aligned with some of the best planners and urban designers in Canada. They preach and practice, unabashedly, about better place-making, seeking inclusivity, equality, and opportunity in all of our neighbourhoods, demanding transparency and accountability in our decision-making processes, and best of all, prioritizing humans over automobiles. If we all do that, everything gets better.

I am an avid runner and cyclist. I practice what I preach.
