master planner
Grand scheme designer
A master planner is someone who designs comprehensive, long-term strategies—typically for urban development, large projects, or complex operations.
The term suggests both expertise and scope: a master planner doesn't just handle details but shapes the overall vision.
The city hired a master planner to redesign the waterfront district.
It can also describe anyone who orchestrates elaborate schemes: She was the master planner behind the surprise party.
