How can we contribute to the world of Urban Design? 

We are a group of young Urban Designers who are passionate about designing healthy places which benefit the environment and communities. Urban Design is a multidisciplinary subject, drawing on a variety of disciplines such as Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Geography, Ecology, Sociology and Psychology. It considers the built environment as well as the spaces in between buildings and examines the relationships between people and these places. As Urban Design students we believe we can positively contribute to the subject by creating sustainable, effective and people centred designs which are appropriate to the contexts of their locations. As a cohort we aspire to contribute to the study and meaningful discussion of current and future trends in Urban Design, including its contribution to creating a more sustainable, healthy, and economically successful future for our cities.
