Peter Ellis will now lead Cannon Design's urban planning and city design practice in collaboration with the firm's executive leadership. This further positions Cannon Design as one of the most highly integrated firms in the world, capable of delivering services to nations around the world facing rapid urbanization, such as India which alone is projected to see its urban population grow by 1,000,000 people per month for the next four decades.
