[2] Campbell-Reid's achievements in urban design began in South Africa from 1992 to 1997, where he worked on the country's first ski resort, assisted in transforming the Victoria and Alfred basins into Cape Town's world-class Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, and worked on that city's bid to host the 2004 Olympic Games.
Ludo and his team at Auckland Council delivered the first City Centre Masterplan in 2012.
This plan set in motion the people-centered urban renaissance of the downtown area and seven years on, they are now out consulting with Aucklanders on its refresh.
They have been instrumental in creating shared spaces throughout the city, they have played a key role in the redevelopment of Wynyard and Britomart, and they have made their mark on globally award-winning projects like Lightpath – Te Ara I Whiti.
