Happy and healthy places have always been central to our mission. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Academy is committed to ensuring we keep communities as healthy as possible by doing our part to reduce the risk of spreading the virus.
Events
We believe we have a social responsibility to adhere to the advice given by the government and to be part of the joint effort to keep people safe. Therefore, all events have been cancelled or postponed until the end of May. This includes the following:

If you have any concerns related to our upcoming programme or recent events please feel free to email our Programmes Coordinator Olga Gaitani at og@academyofurbanism.org.uk. We are looking at ways to keep you engaged from afar through virtual meetings and hope to have an update on this soon.
