HAGAR SHALABY

Became the senior urban planner and the office manager only within two years of my graduation; “Hagar, your period was the richest time of this firm” this is how the owner described it after the firm had fluency expanded in both projects and employee. Due my significant management, organization and communication skills I’m able to develop and maintain an efficient, productive and empowering work environment where ever I work.

The problem solver, the architect of the critical situations who can handle it all, that how my work goes as a senior freelance architect and urban designer from 2009 until now, from consultants’ offices to contractors, business owners and even as volunteered urban designer. 

From having a master’s degree in tourism planning to the participation with respectful scientific papers and working recently on my PhD dissertation in the city planning, I’m continuously in progress to update and expand my academic knowledge in both urban design and planning field.
