Gabby Hart, AICP

Drafting efficient regulations for effective planning and equitable outcomes

“Leave things better than you found them.” This is not only Gabby’s general approach to planning, but her mentality toward her individual work as well. Prior to joining Clarion, Gabby worked in the public sector on a wide variety of projects including long-range plan updates for the City of Centennial, development application review, development review process improvements, and drafting development code updates for the City of Boulder. She is passionate about using her wide range of planning skills to benefit the communities she works within and is always eager to learn more. Gabby enjoys speaking at local and national conferences where she embraces the opportunity to combine her sense of humor with her planning knowledge. Her detail-oriented and collaborative working style makes her a reliable and productive member of any project team. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Sociology from Creighton University, a Graduate Certificate in Geographic Information Systems from the University of Denver, and a Master’s Degree in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Colorado Denver.

• Favorite city to visit:  Seattle – specifically the Ballard/Fremont neighborhoods.
• How to know you’re a Planning Nerd: I regularly check the zoning when I come across an interesting place/development both locally and when traveling.  Anything from building height limitations to signage requirements, I have to know how it came to be.
