The Forum For Urban Design convenes the world’s preeminent leaders in architecture, urban planning, design and development -- as well as professionals in government, education and journalism whose work intersects with the built environment -- to discuss and debate the defining issues that face our cities.

The Forum, based in New York City, engages its members through programs and publications that promote awareness of contemporary urban design’s best practices and greatest challenges. Throughout the year, it hosts semi-annual Member Forums, exclusive tours of ongoing urban design projects, public roundtable discussions, and Director's Luncheons for the Forum's leadership. The Forum also publishes the Urban Design Review, a journal containing reviews of recent texts and exhibitions relevant to the field of urban design.
