Shelagh McCartney is a licensed architect and urbanist whose expertise in design and development focuses on urbanization and housing, with a strong community development focus. She believes that urban design, planning and architecture are byproducts of complex territorial networks and cultural history. Her interdisciplinary approach, undertaken in partnership with communities, is often situated within contested territories of marginalized peoples in Canada’s Near-North and the global South that are experiencing rapid growth.
