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.
