Christopher McCarthy (founding member of Battle McCarthy) has over 30 years experience in leading a multi disciplinary Building and Infrastructure Engineering and Landscape Design Service to provide Economically, Socially and Environmentally sustainable settlements and individual buildings worldwide. Christopher is a leading expert in using hard and soft technologies to achieve smart development for public and private enterprises in the form of planning policy and development respectively.

Christopher’s experiences extend from developing the sustainability strategy for the whole island of Bahrain to the sustainable development framework for £1.5 billion redevelopment of Elephant and Castle in London with government agencies and local authorities, as well as delivering sustainable masterplans for new cities, new towns and campuses with leading global developers worldwide such as Prudential, Treasury Holdings and Mubadala Development Company.

Furthermore, Christopher has been privileged to have worked with leading designers on progressive sustainable buildings worldwide, whose successes have been acknowledged with the highest environmental assessments and awards.

Christopher has utilised his skilful and collaborative methodology to optimise scientific advancement integrated into the built environment to maximise the use of natural resources for the benefit of society.

Most recently Christopher is advancing the economic, social and environmental sustainable framework tools for developing future proofed sustainable development frameworks for urban renewal or new settlements as well as progressing with the utilisation of vegetation to improve air quality of both the building neighbourhood, and fresh air intake / recirculated air within buildings.

Christopher McCarthy is presently working with the UCL (University College London) on a 4 year joint UCL and BML project focusing on naturally engineered solutions such as incorporating vegetation with the engineering design of building and infrastructure systems.
