RUDI is creating a series of urban design and placemaking multimedia resources.

In this section we also provide a gateway to other related multimedia resources available on the web.

The videos are supported by drawings, images, text and graphics – just like you are used to seeing in conference presentations or on TV documentaries. They are best viewed using broadband, but several viewing options are available to suit your PC and internet set-up.

A range of multimedia resources, including interviews, profiles and interactive presentations, will be available online via RUDI's multimedia section.

Over the next year we will be building up our library and we welcome your input and suggestions. If you know of a project that you think would make an interesting multimedia subject please contact RUDI.

If the video content does not display immediately, please check your software requirements.
