Mitchell Lee
Mitchell Lee founded City + Movement after two decades shaping transport strategy from the inside — at Arup, at Cardno (now Stantec), and as the lead consultant behind some of NSW's most significant infrastructure programs.
His work includes Project Manager for the NSW Future Transport Strategy - Plans (the state's 20-year transport blueprint) and Project Manager for the Princes Highway Strategic Program Business Case — a multi-billion dollar investment program spanning two decades of delivery.
The experience gives City + Movement something most firms can't offer: a strategic adviser who has actually done this work, at scale, for the agencies and programs that define how NSW moves. The firm now applies that depth to help government clients, infrastructure investors, and transport operators make better decisions — particularly as AI begins to reshape the sector.
