Ade Aboaba is an urbanist, a personal trainer, and she loves to run.

She is passionate about creating better places and healthier communities. As an independent consultant and trainer, Ade engages people in making decisions about how places work and supports people to become more active in them.

Ade studied Architecture at Manchester University and North London University. She has over 10 years experience in regeneration, urban design, masterplanning and events - with engagement and involvement at the heart of her practice. 



More recently Ade, working for Walk England, has delivered a series of walking maps in London tailored for use in the health and transport sector; managed improvements to the Green Chain Walk in South East London (part of London’s Strategic Walk Network), and developed a practical Walking Action Plan for Greenwich.

Ade is currently supporting organisations to widen local community access to green space and London’s waterways. She is also helping people to get fitter in their everyday environments and leads Urban Jog – city explorations spliced with running.
