Urban Initiatives
Urban Initiatives is a globally recognised British consultancy specialising in urban design and planning, with more than 35 years’ experience delivering award-winning masterplans, regeneration strategies, and policy guidance.
Our work spans the full spectrum of urban development — from high-level strategic planning at city and regional scales to detailed design solutions at neighbourhood, block, street, and building levels.
We collaborate closely with the Urban Intelligence Lab, our research and innovation arm, to offer a fully integrated approach that combines strategic design expertise with data-driven digital insight. Through technology and innovation, we reveal the underlying dynamics of cities, generating the robust evidence needed to shape resilient, future-ready places that respond to both community needs and environmental challenges.
Urban Initiatives and the Urban Intelligence Lab are part of Sidara, a global collective of specialist firms operating across the built environment. Together, this collaborative network is uniquely equipped to tackle complex global challenges and support clients in navigating rapid change with confidence.
