Welcome to Nora Bennani-Kemmoun, our new Graduate Transport Planner!
Introducing Nora Bennani-Kemmoun, who has joined our growing team at Hub as a Graduate Transport Planner.
Under her very well-educated belt, Nora has a BA in Geography from Cambridge, an MSc in Urban Studies from UCL’s The Bartlett and was a Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham. Her time there explored the legacy of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, much of which was transport focused, particularly looking at the regeneration around Perry Barr in Birmingham.
Nora explains: “I have always taken an interest in sustainable travel, improvement of our transport systems and the geography of the world around us. The Commonwealth Games triggered much-needed regeneration in a suburb of Birmingham, which widely hinged around the transport networks. It was great to undertake community engagement, interview senior stakeholders and unpick local planning policy to see how it was delivered and what was achieved. Skills that will be beneficial here at Hub.”
In her first transport-related role, Nora will bring her early understanding of town planning and urban development to help with Hub’s portfolio of national projects.
James Parker, Director at Hub, said: “Nora is a very fast learner and it’s great to have her on the team, bringing an interest and understanding of the built environment and transport’s role within it.”
Nora added: “The team is really close-knit which is lovely and I’m looking forward to learning from them!”
