Vice President, Principal


Michael English is a visionary urban planner who offers our clients an extensive background in urban redevelopment, historic preservation, transit planning, and sustainable growth policy planning. A national award-winning urban-infill land planner, his skills include community and comprehensive planning, public policy-related government relations, public involvement in the planning and development process, and eminent domain litigation support. An extraordinary communicator, Michael is able to achieve a client’s vision though an encyclopedic understanding of the incremental steps required to complete it. He is also an urban anthropologist with a profound understanding of what makes successful communities tick.

Spanning both the public- and private-sector fields in Florida, Mr. English’s work includes directing many of WilsonMiller’s most significant urban planning, redevelopment, and master planning projects. He was principal-in-charge for two recent award-winning projects—the Channel District Strategic Action Plan and the Southeast Gainesville Development Opportunities Master Plan, both of which utilized out-of-the-box, market-based approaches to public sector master planning.

Michael plays an active role in the life of the Tampa Bay community, helping to shape the region’s future through his acknowledged generous service on numerous community and civic boards.
