About Dan Ringelstein

A Commitment to Cities Dan brings a unique perspective to his many accomplishments in urban environments around the world. As an architect, urban designer and city planner, he is interested in the physical characteristics of a place and how planning, urban design, urban infrastructure, landscape design and architecture can create a positive public environment. This is evident in the strong role he has played in realising complex projects of significant magnitude through collaborative planning, design and delivery across 30+ Years. Prior to joining Arup in 2022, Dan was the leader of the City Design Practice at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) based in London. There, Dan directed projects which focussed on the urban transformation of our cities. He had also guided the urban strategy of many architectural projects delivered by the London office of SOM. Dan has extensive experience working across differing cultures and contexts throughout the world. Collaborating closely within a multi-disciplinary team, he is able to guide the development of city designs with public and private sector clients and specialist experts. His urban design and planning skills include a strong ability to work in concert with regional authorities, city officials, public and private institutions, developers, specialist consultants and individual communities to deliver long-term visions as well as short term ‘wins’. Dan has been a long-standing member of the Urban Land Institute (ULI) over the length of his career, joining first as a member in the US, and then in the UK and Europe. Since 2019, Dan has been the Co-chair of the European Urban Regeneration Council at ULI, and in 2023, Dan joined the ULI Awards for Excellence program as a juror.
