Studio Context
What is Urban Design?
Architecture Urban Planning
Landscape Architecture
Urban Design
What binds urban designers is their
commitment to improving the livability of cities, to
facilitating urban investment and
maintenance, and indeed to enhancing urbanity.
UD is the bridge connecting UP + ARC + LA and other disciplines
togetherto create more livable,
sustainable and economically robust
places.
