01 / The perspective
GOOD DATA.
BETTER
DECISIONS.
Jaydan combines a civil engineering background with experience in transport planning, infrastructure, urban design and data analysis.
His career spans public-sector work on active travel, private-sector transport projects and major masterplanning programmes in the Middle East. This gives him a practical understanding of how policy, design and delivery influence the way people move.
He applies an evidence-led approach to sustainable transport, using analysis and collaboration to support connected, resilient and accessible communities.
02 / Areas of expertise
LOOK CLOSER.
PLAN SMARTER.
Four connected disciplines shape Jaydan's approach to mobility and place.
ACTIVE TRAVEL
Experience supporting walking, cycling and sustainable transport initiatives, including local authority-led programmes.
TRANSPORT + INFRASTRUCTURE
Engineering and planning experience across mixed-use developments, transport infrastructure and regeneration schemes.
DATA + ANALYSIS
Analytical experience supporting evidence-based transport decisions, informed by previous data analysis work at Southern Water.
INTERNATIONAL MASTERPLANNING
Contributions to mobility and infrastructure planning in Riyadh and AlUla, with a focus on sustainability and connectivity.
03 / Experience in practice
FROM LOCAL STREETS
TO REGIONAL PLANS.
Selected examples of the breadth of Jaydan's professional experience.
MAKING MOVEMENT
WORK BETTER.
Contributions to UK transport projects including Reading Mass Rapid Transit and the Brighton 20mph programme.
FROM EVIDENCE
TO ACTION.
Data analysis experience with Southern Water and work supporting local authority active travel initiatives in Oxfordshire.
PLANNING AT
PLACE SCALE.
Work on masterplans in Riyadh and the AlUla MP2 Development Plan, supporting resilient infrastructure and integrated movement.
These examples reflect Jaydan's professional career and do not imply that every project was commissioned directly to Smith Design Studio.
04 / The approach
Experience across engineering, transport planning, active travel, urban design and data.
EVIDENCE FIRST.
PEOPLE ALWAYS.
Jaydan's work draws on collaboration between planners, engineers and other specialists to shape transport networks that reflect how communities use places.
His focus on sustainable development and high-quality mobility options combines an analytical approach with the wider objectives of connectivity, resilience and community wellbeing.
