David Barrie

David Barrie runs DBMP, a social project production company and advisory organisation that enables capital growth in cities and the improvement of people's lives.

With Micheal Pyner, a leading figure in urban renewal and social business in the UK, David advises and supports clients in the real estate, housing, creative, community and entertainment sectors.

DBMP has created and run projects valued at over £35m ($54m/€41m) that have acted as a catalyst to the development of new creative districts and public places in cities, been credited with enabling over £500m ($780/€581m) of new investment in local economies and creating extensive new employment.

Our work has won many awards, including an Observer Ethical & European Award for Innovation (2011), the Grand Prix, Regeneration & Renewal and RIBA CABE Public Space Award, sister of the Stirling Prize (2009).

Our projects have also been featured extensively by the national and international media, including the BBC, Channel 4, NHK, Sunday Times, New York Times, China Daily, Monocle, Estates Gazette and Tank.

We embrace the production and sharing of knowledge in all of its forms and so our work includes making projects and programmes that are broadcast on TV in the UK and USA.
