"The Olympics are a catalyst that drive regeneration"
Jason Prior
Nimmo (seen left here), a chartered surveyor and town planner is recognised for managing complex urban regeneration projects. In 2003 she joined the London 2012 bid team. After London won she was appointed Director of Design and Regeneration for the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA), with responsibility for the delivery of the Olympic Park and associated infrastructure.
Prior (seen right) is a landscape architect, urban designer and environmental planner. As European President of EDAW he headed up a consortium of architects, engineers and landscape designers, to produce the bid masterplan for the Olympic Park. In 2006 the ODA appointed Prior and the EDAW consortium as delivery partners for the development and implementation of the plan.
