My education led me to environmental law. The law governs how we live in our built and natural environments and how we interact with each other. As boring as it might sound to some, urban planning impacts each of us every day. Communities need green spaces, healthy homes, and access to facilities and infrastructure such as hospitals and public transport to get there. Being reliant on personal vehicles is inefficient and the type of parking creates a barrier to amenities and care invisible to those of us who presume a car and parking space are our birth rights.
