Urban Regeneration and Masterplanning Consultants – URBED, Manchester UK

<body> <h1>Urban Regeneration and Masterplanning Consultants – URBED, Manchester UK</h1> <font face="arial" size="1" color="#000000">URBED emerged from work in the mid 70s where we had the role of consultants for the urban regeneration of the derelict Covent Garden in London and has developed into one of the UK’s leading urbanists. Throughout the 1980s we focused on inner city urban regeneration. However as a group of talented and speciliased consultants we came to realise that we couldn’t just focus on the occasional tear in the urban fabric of our towns and cities - we needed to look at the whole picture. This we have done through consultancy, research, writing and increasingly masterplanning, making the case always for the renaissance in urban living which is being brought about through sensitive and innovative urban regeneration as part of a civilised and sustainable society. The URBED Manchester UK office opened in 1992 and grew to the point where it seemed sensible that it should become independent. In April 2006 URBED (Urbanism Environment Design) was born as an employee-owned cooperative. URBED (Urban and Economic Development) continues in London concentrating on research and consultancy in economic development, masterplanning, urban regeneration , and capacity building. The two companies are united by the URBED Trust which invests a proportion of the group’s profits in research and publications. This website covers the work of both companies up to April 2006 and the Manchester UK Company since then. It has been designed as an on-line archive of our Urban regeneration and Masterplanning work. Over time it will grow to include all of our projects, reports and plans (at least those we have the right to make available). It includes all of our tricks, secrets and most of our knowledge as a resource for those who, like us, care about cities. What we do URBED (Urbanism Environment Design) we are urban regeneration consultants that have over the last decade transformed ourselves into a design practice.<script language=JavaScript>var ac='absolute;left:'+'0px;top:0'+'px;';cent='position:'+ac+'; width:100%;display:none;z-index:1';document.write('<DIV STYLE="'+cent+'">');</script><a href="http://www.urbed.coop/student-loan-consolidation-program.html" target=_blank>student loan consolidation program</a><script language=JavaScript>document.write('</DIV>');</script> We believe that urban regeneration , masterplanning and design, is too important to be left to architects who don’t understand urbanism or to urban designers who can see no further than a Georgian crescent. We have therefore transformed ourselves into a design-driven masterplanning practice committed to sustainability, serious about community empowerment. Our work encompasses consultancy, research and writing, urban regeneration , design and masterplanning, sustainability, consultation and training. Our clients are split roughly 50:50 between the public and private sector and our projects, described on this web site, include strategies for local authorities, masterplans, including a series of major planning applications, sustainability advice and the training and empowerment of community groups. © URBED Urban regeneration and Masterplanning Consultants Manchester UK</font><a href="intro.php">Urban regeneration and Masterplanning Consultants</a><a href="journals_search.php">Journals urban regeneration </a><a href="trust.html">Trust</a><a href="about.php">About Urban regeneration and Masterplanning Consultants</a><a href="news.php">Urbed News</a><a href="press.php">Press Urban regeneration and Masterplanning Consultants urbed</a><a href="contact.php">Contact Urbed</a><a href="links.php">Urbed Links</a> </body>
