Each year, World Habitat Day reminds us of the shared responsibility to shape cities and communities that are inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. The 2025 theme — “Engaging youth to create a better urban future” — puts the spotlight on Millennials and Gen Z, whose leadership is crucial in addressing today’s challenges and building tomorrow’s solutions.
We recognize that our younger professionals bring fresh perspectives, innovation and passion to the most complex issues facing urban environments. Their contributions help ensure that the infrastructure, systems and natural environments we depend on are designed to stand the test of time.
One example of this next generation of leaders is Cole Mayer, a Geology Consultant at WSP. In his work, Cole supports projects that combine scientific expertise with practical solutions for sustainable development.
As part of a global company, Cole values the opportunities to collaborate with colleagues worldwide, share knowledge across disciplines and contribute to projects that make a tangible difference in communities. His experience reflects the power of connection and innovation that our early-career professionals bring to the table.
Listen to Cole’s perspective on working at WSP and the role young professionals can play in creating a better future.
