Skills and Training

Research has revealed that built environment/transport professionals across the built environment sector, as well as many elected officials and the public, lack specialised urban design skills and awareness. Professional bodies and campaigning groups are developing courses, workshops and masterclasses to help fill this skills gap.

RUDI is building up a comprehensive database of skills and training available to urbanists.

Please contact us with details of any courses your organisation will be running and we'll post them on the site.

Details of full- and part-time higher education courses can be found in RUDI's education section.
