Urben Studio Information

Urben is a design-led urbanism studio, delivering sustainable, innovative and creative outcomes across a range of planning, landscape, urban design and place-making projects in the UK and beyond. We believe that good planning and design can make cities more sustainable and enjoyable urban environments, and our name is an amalgamation of ‘Urban’ and ‘Environment’ - providing recognition that our towns and cities are human ecosystems that must not only support our basic needs but also give each and every person the space to thrive. Based in London, we operate at the intersection of the disciplines of planning, ecology, landscape architecture and urban design. Urben offers expertise in development consent management, public realm design, master planning and feasibility studies. Although our skills are on focused on urban planning and design, we often work collaboratively with architects, environmental managers and engineers in project teams assembled to address specific urban problems. We apply our rigorous and creative approach to spaces, places and territory through the lens of human nature, and use design-led processes to guide our projects with expertise, leadership and tenacity. We design for, and with clients, and are equally as interested in how each project works and is assembled, as how it looks. Good design is good business … and good fun.
