Elina Klimova - Consultant

I am an urban planner from Saint Petersburg, Russia. My journey began with five years at Architectural University, where I focused on developing new urban areas and redeveloping industrial zones.

Over time, I became deeply invested in how mobility shapes cities, leading me to Politecnico di Milano in 2021, where I spent three years working on slow mobility and urban redevelopment projects, including transport planning workshops.

As a consultant in MIC-HUB, I’ve contributed to a mobility project in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where I focused on creation of mobility solutions that are both forward-thinking and human-centered. My goal is to contribute to shaping cities that prioritize people, movement, and sustainability.

In my free time, I enjoy hiking with friends and traveling to different countries to explore diverse cultures and people. I’m also interested in psychology and human behavior, particularly how it connects to life in cities. This combination of experiences helps me recharge and brings fresh perspectives to my work.
