Latest version of Jaime Parsons' urban design portfolio with professional and academic work going back over a decade.
It contains a selection of Urban Design, public realm, placemaking and Urban Planning projects in which I have played a key role. These range from academic work, policy and strategic documents, to masterplanning, with some design development advice and design competitions too.
