Shravan Joshi has been named the new chair of the City of London Corporation’s Planning and Transportation Committee.
Joshi ran against fellow committee member Marianne Fredericks, receiving 18 votes to Fredericks’ eight in this morning’s committee meeting.
Joshi said he was grateful for “the trust” of his committee members, adding in a statement following the meeting: “We currently have a unique opportunity to shape the Square Mile’s built environment around the emergence from lockdown, while holding firm on delivery of our climate action and transport strategies.”
A former investment banker, Joshi worked in the energy sector from 1999 and now advises energy technology companies. He has served as a member of the City Corporation for four years, including a stint as deputy chairman of the Property Investment Board.
Joshi takes the reins from Alastair Moss, who will now serve as deputy chair for the next 12 months.
