Youth
Urban Design

We build business by helping young people develop the skills our urban design and construction industries need for sustainable regeneration driven by an empowered, enthusiastic local workforce.

We welcome sponsors from the urban design and building construction industries who are willing to support young people as they discover their talents and develop their skills. Sponsorship comes in many forms:

  • Provision of funding
  • Provision of training opportunities
  • Provision of advice and input to training programmes
  • Assistance with the development of public-sector policies.
Please contact us if you can help in any or all of these areas!

We work with government, schools, companies and individuals to create healthier urban communities. At the Centre we run laboratories where the latest and most promising educational techniques and technologies are explored by young people, with the help of mentors and industry specialists. In return, we receive support from individuals, corporate sponsors, educational institutions and government programmes.

We're helping to build pathways to success-- but we also build pathways to greater understanding and awareness of the needs and challenges facing businesses, schools, government departments and our hugely diverse communities.

We believe the time has come to break away from the status quo and rebuild our cities from within!

Discovering Talent
We help people from disadvantaged backgrounds build their self-respect by building communities. To build communities you need social skills like patience, tolerance, understanding. But you also need practical skills - in design, architecture, engineering and logistics.

So we pioneer educational methods that will help anybody discover their talents and make the most of them - regardless of their academic qualifications. And once individuals discover their vocations, we sponsor them through to success.
