Architect and urban designer, Jon Johannsen joined us on the UrbanTalk Podcast to discuss the design excellence process and design review panels. In addition to his five decades of professional experience, Jon has also sat on numerous design excellence panels all across Sydney, including Burwood, Cumberland, Parramatta, Hornsby, Waverley and Inner West local government areas. This podcast was originally recorded at the end of 2023 and in the intervening period our guest, Jon Johannsen, has closed his architectural practice AJA. He continues to contribute to design excellence as an urban design consultant on several local government panels.
