Online resources for urban design

The urban design learning space will give you a basic introduction to the theories, tricks and tools you can use to help create well-designed places.

• We'll explain the words we can use to define the qualities of well-designed places
• We'll describe processes and tools you can use to achieve good design
• We'll talk about the theories and policies you can use to deliver good design
• We'll help you learn by using pictures, stories, examples and activities

You can search for a specific topic using our A to Z, enrol on a course, add to our Favourite places, find some interesting facts, have a go at activities, watch videos, view slideshows and more!

Urban Design London also offers lots of face to face courses, workshops and seminars that will enable you to continue after working through the learning space.
