RUDI content: how to find what you're looking for

There are several ways to search for content on RUDI:

Using the RUDI tagging system

Each piece of content on RUDI is tagged with specific labels. Tags are shown in alpabetical order, and larger tags mean that there is more content available with that tag. Simply choose the tag that you're looking for, click, and you'll get a list of all published content related to that subject.

Using the search function

Simple search using keywords

For example: brownfield housing

This will search for all content containing both brownfield and housing, in no particular order, and will find content such as "Housing has now replaced 34% of brownfield areas" and "Brownfield housing is 34% up on previous year"

Note: search is case insensitive

Simple search using phrases and/or keywords

For more specific searches on particular combinations of words, for example, design guidance, enter "design guidance" with quotes

or "design guidance" density

or "design guidance" density Manchester

The last example will look for a content with occurrences of design guidance that also have density and Manchester in them

Simple search using phrases and/or keywords and exclude certain keywords/phrases

For more specific searches on particular phrases without a speciifc qualifier, for example, design guidance except for London, enter "design guidance" -London

Note: use of the - [minus] symbol with no space before the following keyword means everything EXCEPT for that keyword

Please make sure the syntax is used precisely as above for the best results

Finding key urban design guides, policy, strategy and guidance

Over the past 10 years, an increased focus on placemaking and regeneration across the UK led many public bodies and campaigning groups to engage in placemaking initiatives: the Urban Design Compendium, Manual for Streets, Link and Place, etc. Information on these initiatives is available via RUDI, along with strategy and guidance on most elements of the placemaking mix.
