About Christopher J. Kok
Christopher J. Kok is a city planner and urban designer focused on creating cities that attract people, spur innovation, and minimize environmental impacts of civilization. While earning a Master of City and Regional Planning degree from the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, he studied urban design, bicycle planning, infrastructure planning, economic and demographic analysis and systems thinking. In this pursuit, Chris has gained and utilized several hard skills. He has used GIS in his studies of potential bike paths; AutoCAD and SketchUp in site planning and design; and Adobe Suite and Microsoft PowerPoint in presenting and displaying the projects. Projects that Chris has been involved in span the range from individual class assignments to intensive class team assignments to prestigious design competitions, including the Gerald D. Hines Student Urban Design Competition in which the team co-led by Chris won an honorable mention. These skills have also been useful while Chris was a Teaching Assistant at Bloustein and a Planning Assistant at Looney Ricks Kiss.
