Purpose and values

Our purpose

Our purpose defines why Manidis Roberts exists as a company. At Manidis Roberts:

We shape exceptional cities

Shape

In the tradition of Dr JJC Bradfield, Constantinos Doxiadis and Georges-Eugene Haussmann, all exceptional cities have an inspirational leader at the centre of change. Beside each leader is a committed and talented team working with them at the decision-making table. Our business is to be that team on city-changing projects.

Exceptional

The Appian Way in Rome, the London Sewerage System and Hong Kong’s Metro made those places the great cities of the world and set the benchmark for schemes that followed. We pursue this standard in the cities we influence.

Cities

When people collaborate exceptional innovations and advancements occur in cultural expression, social justice and economic growth. Connections such as these are best fostered in functional and productive cities. These are the places we choose to shape.

Our values

At Manidis Roberts we value: people; relationships; ingenuity; excellence; and sustainability. The first four values are our character values and the last is our foundation value.
