Jason Newsome,
Urban Designer
Jason joined Civitas in 2013 and has had a leading design role for The Haven Project (Bronx), The 5280 LOOP (Denver), and Rivers District Master Plan (Calgary). Jason is an Urban Designer whose experience spans many miles, across several disciplines. From landscape architecture design in New York City to design, construction and forestry work in Wyoming, his travels have led him through large-scale planning projects, construction of high-end residential and commercial landscapes and the implementation of forest management plans. His work now has an urban focus that ranges from green roof, plaza and streetscape design on a single city block to complex urban planning and design at neighborhood, district and regional levels. These unique experiences have fueled his interests in the dynamic relationships between culture, politics and the impact that the built environment has on our lives and greater ecologies.
Jason received a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a Master of Urban Design from the University of Colorado Denver.
