Research

Academic and design research are key aspects of Urban Projects Bureau’s approach, and we actively take part in conferences, debates, lectures and round-table discussions, which we see as a critical forum for the questioning of ideas and the development of new forms of knowledge. Urban Projects Bureau regularly publish articles and essays, and have been assistant editors and authors of a number of publications, including London +10 and Transformative City. Urban Projects Bureau run the ‘Urbanism and the Informal City’ research cluster at the Architectural Association, exploring the spatial dimensions of informal economic, social and political systems at the scale of the city.
