urban design

As our towns, cities and regions develop and grow, so too do the demands on the natural and built environments. Communities play a vital role in shaping our environments. We are committed to creating people places and spaces which contribute positively to the way communities interact with their surrounds. Both the public and private realms are important and need to be designed to interact with one another in a robust, innovative and durable manner.

hansen’s urban planners bring a wide range of knowledge and skills to plan for future successful development of our cities, towns and regions. Our Urban Design Frameworks, Visual Assessments, Design Strategies and Guidelines and other design initiatives optimise opportunities for well designed development, make better use of existing infrastructure and create places which have a 'sense of place' and belonging.
