George P. Doyle, IV
George Doyle is pursuing a Certificate in Heritage Preservation at Georgia State. Graduating from Georgia Tech’s Masters Program in Urban Design, George is working to better-understand how new real estate developments and redevelopments in urban areas impact their local communities. Additionally, he is strategizing better ways to reduce transportation costs for people in these areas by emphasizing inclusively designed spaces that foster internal capture trips between places. With prior work experience in the transportation, air conditioning, and historic preservation industries, George understands the importance economic developers have in preserving historically-significant areas while successfully installing multi-modal transportation designs that integrate within these spaces to better-stimulate local economies.
George has been promoting smart-growth development and livable communities since his involvement with the 2020 ULI Hines Student Competition, which is designed to simulate a real-world design, planning, and development project. This year’s competition explored the redevelopment of a site in Miami with the Florida East Coast Roast Railway splitting the site into the Wynwood and Edgewater neighborhoods. A Tri-Rail is expected to begin commuter rail services to downtown Miami in 2021. Tasked with redeveloping parcels in the site area to accommodate for a station in Midtown Miami, George and his team were awarded an Honorable Mention and 7th place title from 113 other international submissions for developing a thriving, mixed-use, transit-oriented neighborhood. Their bold design embraced the existing community’s market needs for healthcare and art therapy access rather than building new commercial real estate in an already-saturated market.
