Yen Trinh is an urban planner, who dabbles in the areas of art, design, and communication.

She is continually inspired by creative design and ideas that influence the complex cultural, social, and environmental aspects of our cities, and regularly writes about it for Map Magazine’s Street Editors website.

In 2007 Yen was a finalist in the Brisbane Riverfestival Billboard Challenge ‘Odd and Even Shower Days’ and a finalist in the international Re:Route competition on urban transport. She is currently the Planning Institute of Australia’s QLD and National Young Planner of the Year, and will be the first Australian joining the Institute without Boundaries’ World House Project in Toronto.

Passionate about shaping Brisbane‘s urban landscapes, she is an organiser of Brisbane PARK(ing) Day, which is part of a global event about urban design and sustainable cities happening on 19 September 2008.
