John Massengale
John Massengale, AIA, is a thought leader on the connections between urban design, architecture, walkability, and placemaking. As principal at Massengale & Co. and the author of three books, he has more than 25 years' experience designing projects in Europe and across America. His planning work spans a range of situations from suburban retrofits and designing new towns to urban infill and urban regeneration. At every scale--from arranging rooms to arranging buildings to organizing street plans--Massengale emphasizes context and the importance of making places where people want to be. Massengale is co-author with Victor Dover, FAICP, of Street Design: The Secret to Great Cities and Towns (Wiley, 2014) with foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales. He is also the co-author, with Robert A.M.

A Board member of the Congress for the New Urbanism, Massengale was previously the founding Chair of CNU New York. He also served as a Director of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art. As the founder of Massengale & Co., John leads a design team that is known for creative and beautiful work in regional and Classical traditions from New York to New Mexico.
