Institute for Urban Excellence
We are an independent think tank and knowledge broker specialising in research, citizen engagement, advocacy, research communication and professional trainings in fields related to the urban.
Having established ourselves as a bridge between urban planning theory and practice, we facilitate the cross-border dissemination and adoption of transdisciplinary knowledge and innovation across sectors, governance levels and communities.
WHAT WE DO
Our work happens in collaboration with an extensive network of partners that we constantly strengthen. We organise our activities in three pillars:
Our expertise is centred around core themes to advance sustainability and equity in cities, increase awareness of emerging trends and promote best practices:
THE NATURAL AND BUILT ENVIRONMENT
INCLUSIVITY AND REPRESENTATION
RESILIENCE AND ADAPTATION
GOVERNANCE AND FINANCING
LATEST NEWS AND UPDATES
Welcome to our first News Update of 2025! We sincerely hope that the new year has started well for all of you, as it has for the Institute. In recent weeks we have been successful in acquiring two new projects related to green spaces and soils in cities. We are excited about these new challenges! As usual, the Institute is striving for Urban Excellence, and we are therefore looking to engage more with the urban community: we will soon be opening a new chapter of the Institute on our website, in the spirit of urban inclusiveness. Stay tuned!
