What is UrbanPlan?

UrbanPlan is a realistic, interactive workshop led by professional facilitators. The programme brings to life the built environment for participants through a series of challenges around the regeneration of an urban site. During this hands-on simulation, teams collaborate using creativity and problem solving skills as they learn about the fundamental forces that affect urban regeneration in our communities.

Simulating real life, the teams face a mix of financial, design, ethical and environmental challenges to create a financially viable scheme with a mix of commercial and residential uses. After their plan is designed, the final challenge is to share their plan in a pitch presentation to a panel of industry experts and receive valuable feedback.

The challenge invites participants to develop a placemaking vision and propose solutions for creating a vibrant and accessible urban neighbourhood.
