Community engagement is at the heart of all of UDC’s activities and we are always looking for ways to engage a wide range of urban citizens in dialogues and activities on ‘what makes cities livable’.

UDC has collaborated with local and international organisations, anchoring workshops and public events to raise awareness on good urban design and participatory planning practices.
