2021 - 2023

This report covers the activities of the UCL Urban Laboratory from 2021 to 2023.

This new edition of our Activities Report provides an overview of the key areas of activity and engagement which we have programmed across the period 2021 - 2023, in collaboration with a wide range of committed academics from across UCL, and our partners from different sectors, who have worked with us to develop and deliver our vision of an ‘engaged urbanism’ which offers new approaches to urban problems, grounded in an understanding of everyday realities.

This year's publication is the last activity report by Prof Clare Melhuish, who completed her six-year tenure as Director in May 2024.
