Urban Design Forum

Urban Design Forum (UDF) began in Melbourne in 1986 as a network of enthusiastic and creative people committed to making a significant contribution to improving the functioning and quality of our cities and towns. Since that time, the network has spread across Australia, with linkages to similar groups in New Zealand and other places. Since 1987, UDF has published the UDF Quarterly which can be viewed online. The latest edition of UDF Quarterly (March 2011) includes articles on urban design and ‘extreme climate events’, Australia Award for Urban Design 2011, Cities for People, Urban design and natural disasters, Australian Urban Design Initiative (AUDI) update, Can New Urbanism foster a sense of community, and more.
