International

A proud history of leadership on international planning & design projects.

Since the mid-1990s, we have led and contributed to influential urban management, planning, design and landscape projects across Southeast Asia and beyond, always working alongside National counterparts.

We provide specialist services to global donor agencies such as the United Nations, the World Bank and Asian Development Bank as well as supporting the Australian Government (DFAT) through its aid programme. We also work with allied multidisciplinary practices in bringing our proven experience in international cooperation to the forefront in urban-environmental infrastructure investment.

At Hansen, we remain committed to fostering positive change internationally and prioritising capacity-building in emerging markets by sharing Australian planning and design expertise.

Constanza Jara Herrera

Senior Urban Designer & Landscape Architect

Constanza is a Registered Landscape Architect with over a ten years of experience in a range of Urban Design and Landscape Architecture projects, practicing her multi-disciplinary backgrounds in architecture, art, landscape architecture, and urban design. Her experience spans both public and private sector projects, having worked locally and internationally in diverse scales and contexts.

Her design approach responds to elements from the natural environment, local ecologies and cultures, informed by research, collaboration and observation. Currently Constanza is undertaking doctoral studies at the University of Melbourne, focusing on cultural landscapes, participatory design by exploring creative methods. In doing this, she is bringing together design, research, and her own creative practice.

Constanza has expanded her design knowledge by participating in academic programs, international workshops and conferences in various countries including Chile, Barcelona, Aotearoa/ New Zealand, Singapore, Oslo, and Naarm/ Melbourne. This has framed a cross-cultural perspective, which has been developed through studying, teaching and working.

At Hansen, Constanza has contributed to a variety of urban design and landscape architecture projects, such as the award-wining ‘Streets for People Feasibility Study’ and ‘Sapa & Surrounds Sustainable Urban & Infrastructure Development Project’, as well as many others including streetscape upgrades, framework plans, concept and schematic designs, master plans, 3D modelling, design guidelines, and artist impressions. Her work contributes that each project is creative and contextually responsive.
