I'm Ben Frasco. I focus on human-centred planning that strengthens cities, families, and communities.

This photo was taken on the outskirts of Rome. I included it because it reflects my interest in historically grounded, well-planned cities.

I work at Mecone, where I contribute to major development projects across New South Wales from our Sydney and Parramatta offices.

I teach urban planning at the University of Technology Sydney, where I help students engage critically with issues in urban renewal.

I founded Cohesive Communities to advance ideas on planning, design, and the common good. I also contribute to planning reform and design advocacy through Street Level Australia and the UDIA Young Leaders Committee.

I hold a Bachelor of Business in Finance and a Master of Planning, both from UTS.
