Institute for Urban Design

For more than 30 years the Institute for Urban Design has been an important platform for debate, bringing together some of the most influential figures in urban planning, development, policy, and design, including Jane Jacobs, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Kevin Lynch, Richard Sennett, Denise Scott Brown, Simon Schama, Adolfo Carrion, and Moshe Safdie.

Operating as a think tank as well as a research and advocacy group, the Institute offers professionals a chance to share ideas in order to ensure a better, more vibrant and sustainable future for our cities.
