VIVA Urbanism was founded in 2024 by Tim Hays, an urbanist who has over ten years of experience working on built environment projects in Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney. Over this experience, Tim has learnt to apply a public health lens to his work to achieve high quality, people-focussed planning and design outcomes that create thriving and liveable environments. He advocates for greener public spaces where people can walk and cycle, seeking to improve the quality of health and life in cities. Tim works to inspire this change.
