UDG Connect Launch Event

UDG Connect is a new network for students, graduates and those interested in moving into a career in urban design. Join us to meet leading urban design practices and hear honest, real-world stories from urban designers who have already made the journey.

You’ll hear from 5 speakers who have found their way into urban design from backgrounds in architecture and urban planning, as well as those who have moved countries or changed direction along the way. They’ll share just how they did it! Discover what helped, what they wish they’d known earlier, and importantly, why they love what they do!

Many practices will also be sharing about opportunities available to you and why they’d be a great first step to build your career.

It’s also an opportunity to meet the Urban Design Group and share ideas on how we can grow UDG Connect together.

Sign up to hear real-world stories, make industry connections, and learn the practical steps to start a career shaping better places.
