Mrs Meagan Crawford

Executive Director/Principal Economist
Urban Economic Consulting
Meagan has spent many years working with governments, multi-national corporations as well as both public organisations and private clients in delivering economic analyses of the impacts of technology on cities.

She has led the analysis of many multi-million projects across Europe, the Middle East, Central America and North America. She has also led internationally significant research programmes, partnering with international industry leaders and academics.
