Some background...

As a profession we have long-known and emphasised that how we plan, build, and manage our towns and cities now, will determine the outcome of our efforts to achieve a sustainable and harmonious development tomorrow.

The Urban Design Group responded with ideasSPACE providing a weekly urban forum for designers, cities, and governments globally to informally come together - learning with and from each other how best to move forwards.
