“RUDI is an excellent opportunity to feel 'included' into the wider community of urban designers, learn about new ideas, publications, events and constantly feel part of an exciting process of on-going development on the ground and theoretical debate”

“It is a valuable resource for local authority planners and urban designers. Local authority practitioners are at a disadvantage to consultants and educationalists in terms of overall access to information on urban design - particularly where only one person is employed to provide urban design services. At a time of local authority cost-cutting, the purchase of journals, books and periodicals is restricted and Rudi provides information that local authorities would otherwise be unable to access.”

“For us, the Resource for Urban Design Information (Rudi), is an essential resource for all organisations committed to pursuing best practice in urban design.”

“Any network of architecture centres needs to be supported by a national information database on best practice. Rudi, established by Oxford Brookes University is an excellent model that should be consolidated and linked in to a wider information network.”

“RUDI keeps young urban designers and students up to date.”

“RUDI is an excellent resource. It keeps you up to date with what is going on in the marketplace, particularly with jobs and tender alerts.”

“It is expansive, caters to a wide audience, academic, public, and private. It has up to date information, information on conference, workshops, case studies, links to other resources and so much more.”

“Urban design and regeneration projects are all about innovation, communication and connectivity. Rudi provides the same and is an invaluable tool for urban design professionals.”

“I find Rudi very useful and I refer to the site from my site to this topic. I think that Rudi is used by all visitors of my site. I would like to see Rudi continue. I use it regularly. Your site is really a very good facility with widespread usage for students and academic staff.”

“Rudi is a terrific source for students at all levels. It is an excellent source of information as well as giving planners and urban designers an opportunity to air their views and advertise their own work.”

“I very much admire the Rudi site, and especially the Oxpens Initiative, which I always show in my seminar.”

“This is just to say how extraordinarily useful RUDI is proving to me at present, now that I am on a two year fellowship from the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 to write a book about urbanism.”
