Esther Obire

Hey there! I'm Esther Obire, known to most people as Tegha, my middle name. 

I’m a transportation planner with a background in Urban Studies and Environmental Sciences (B.A. & B.Sc.) and a Master’s in Urban Planning and Policy.

My work focuses on accessibility, urban mobility, and how transportation and land use come together to shape more connected communities. I’m particularly interested in how cities function in practice, how people move, access jobs and services, and navigate everyday life.

I use data and GIS to understand these patterns, but what I enjoy most is applying that insight to planning decisions that are practical, people-focused, and actually improve how places work. I’m committed to developing thoughtful, data-driven solutions that strengthen connectivity and support more accessible, resilient urban environments.
