Dan Hill has been working at the forefront of innovative information and communication technologies (ICT) since the early ‘90s and has been responsible for many innovative, popular and critically acclaimed products and services.
He has conducted significant strategic work as one of the key architects of a BBC redesigned for the on-demand media age, launched Monocle magazine, organised the architecture and urbanism conference, Postopolis, in New York, and runs City of Sound, generally acclaimed as one of the leading architecture and urbanism websites (one of Planetizen’s top ten for 2008).
Dan has experience of product development and management in design, software and innovation, applied to sectors ranging from media and music to city government and academia. This is combined with a background of research and practice in urban regeneration through cultural industries and urban informatics. Dan is a regular speaker at conferences and events, and has strong links with academic research units around the world.
For Arup, Dan is helping clients explore the possibilities of ICT from a creative, design-led perspective, re-thinking how information changes streets and cities, neighbourhoods and organisations, mobility and work, play and public space.
