Projects


Urban Visions was created in 1998 when the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce asked Michael Burrill to prepare a Reverse Commute transportation plan for Metro, Warren County, Procter and Gamble, and Marriott.  The plan was implemented with federal funds. 

 

Mr. Burrill has more than 30 years of land and transportation planning, architecture and interior design, capital budgeting, and housing design experience for the US Air Force, two large universities, Greyhound, and three private sector design firms.  He is a graduate of Princeton University, Washington University in St. Louis, the University of Cincinnati, and three Defense Department college-level programs.  The projects/publications listed here illustrate the wide range of his part-time consulting work since 1968.
