The Academy of Urbanism aims to advance the understanding and practice of urbanism by promoting a culture of scholarship through evidence based inquiry, providing an inclusive forum for dialogue across all disciplines, sharing knowledge with the community and our peers and nurturing, recognising and rewarding excellence in achievement. The Urbanism Awards are an essential step towards achieving this aim.
