Drawing from over 10 years of local and international experience, as well as both from the public and private sectors, Margarita adds a design approach to mobility strategies to help shape accessible and equitable places. Cities and the built environment, as a uniquely human construct, should be designed intuitively with the end user in mind: people. Margarita advises cities and organisations on the integral role that bicycles and policymaking play in the transformation of life in urban centres.
