<br />Joseph Pobiner is an award-winning master planner and urban designer who has created
<br />memorable and sustainable places for more than 30 years. Throughout his career, he has
<br />positively infl uenced development across the U.S. (40 states) and worldwide in 24 countries on
<br />6 continents. He has led the global master planning practice for international fi rms with projects
<br />encompassing over 250 million total acres (386,000 square miles), creating over $52 billion
<br />in new construction and over $10 billion in fees. A client-focused, collaborative, and creative
<br />professional, he has worked with a broad array of clients, representing projects in almost every
<br />market sector: aviation and airport planning; mixed-use master plans; corporate campuses;
<br />sports and entertainment districts; development guidelines; town and regional planning; district
<br />and corridor planning; university campuses; healthcare and medical campuses; urban design
<br />and place-making; hospitality and resorts; and visioning.
<br />As a consultant and project principal, Mr. Pobiner has over 25 years in senior management
<br />with national and international practices, has maintained an 80 percent hit rate (proposals and
<br />interviews) and a 75 percent client retention rate, and was interviewed for the documentary
<br />fi lm “Revival of Community.” His innovative method uses three unique and proprietary planning
<br />approaches:
<br />1. NANO Plan (TM) (Narrow Area/New Objective)–NANO plans are applied to small areas
<br />requiring a focused approach, such as districts and corridors;
<br />2. Rapid/Response Plan (TM)–Deployed for communities that seek to grow in both a rapid
<br />and responsible manner; and,
<br />3. FastForward Plan (TM)–An accelerated approach that results in a completed master plan
<br />in approximately half the time of a standard approach.
<br />Mr. Pobiner was honored by his peers with induction into AICP’s College of Fellows (FAICP),
<br />recognizing his achievements as a planning consultant. FAICP is the highest honor given to
<br />professional planners, with around 350 active members worldwide. He was also one of the
<br />fi rst professionals worldwide to earn the CNU-A accreditation (from the Congress for the New
<br />Urbanism), the only certifi cation that combines principles of sustainability and urban design.
<br />There are only approximately 225 CNU-A professionals worldwide.
