Welcome to The National Urban Design Conference. This year’s conference focuses on how excellence in urban design can be achieved not just in major cities, which attract the lion's share of high-profile schemes and investment, but in every town and community.

Featuring powerful case studies from Ipswich and the local area, alongside examples from across the UK and beyond, we will examine innovative and practical approaches to tackle today’s challenges and create thriving towns and cities that foster well-being and opportunity for all.
