The Joint Centre for Urban Design, Oxford Brookes University

The Joint Centre for Urban Design (JCUD) was established in 1972 to promote better design across the public realm. Its focus is equipping graduates from disciplines as diverse as town planning, transport engineering and architecture with the urban Big Picture and the wide range of skills they needs in order to create public spaces that work for people.

Urban design is an interdisciplinary activity and the JCUD aims to bridge the gap between the professions involved in the development of the built environment by providing an integrative philosophy, bringing together theory and practice from many different fields.

The JCUD has a practical approach, equipping students with the skills to intervene effectively in the production of an improved public realm, through design practice, in a way which has application to many existing disciplines.

Students and JCUD alumni can use the JCUD student area on RUDI to keep up to date with urban design news and developments around the world.

We welcome submissions and news from JCUD alumni who are now in practice.
