Urban Design and Planning
Carrie M. Marsh utilizes innovative urban design and land use planning practices to create places that matter. She is influenced by the Latin term, "genius loci," which means "spirit of place." Her focus is on projects that enhance and strengthen the unique energy and personality of a space. Sustainable development practices are used to create healthy, attractive, vital, mixed-use, human-scale environments with a strong sense of place.
Carrie has served as the Urban Designer for the City of Portland, Maine where her work included neighborhood based planning and design, the review of architectural designs, the creation of innovative design standards, oversight of the City’s public art program, and advocacy for various initiatives related to Portland's creative economy. She was involved in planning projects in Portland’s Bayside, the Easter Waterfront, Munjoy Hill and Downtown neighborhoods.
Innovative Development
Carrie previously spent ten years in Providence, Rhode Island where she worked for Cornish Associates on innovative development initiatives in the city, and as the Project Planner for the Mashpee Commons project on Cape Cod.
In Providence, Carrie was a founding Board Member of The Steel Yard, a former industrial site which now serves as a mixed-use arts facility. She served as an advisor on the reuse of Monohasset Mill for mixed income artist live/work studios. Carrie advocated for the conversion of the Eagle Square Mills to a mix of uses with artist spaces, rather than demolition.
Carrie was President of the West Broadway Neighborhood Association, a local organization focused on community regeneration, adaptive reuse and infrastructure improvement. She served on the Board of the Providence Preservation Society Revolving Fund, an organization which provides innovative funding and technical expertise for historic revitalization projects.
Environment and Culture
Carrie has also worked as an environmental planner for The Conservation Fund of Arlington, Virginia on greenway and sustainable development projects throughout New England. While in graduate school, Carrie worked as an assistant to the Arts Plan 2000 initiative in Portland, Oregon which was the nation's first regional arts and cultural plan.
