Nordic Urban Design Conference
About NUDC
There are many crucial issues which need to be addressed regarding how the cities
of the future will be developed and planned. Generating sustainable growth for
our cities requires the clear vision of the city planner. Employing urban design
as a tool for future city planning has proven itself to be of great importance
within all aspects of city development. The annual Nordic Urban Design conferences
aims to set focus on Nordic and international issues related to the complex management
of cities, and to be at the forefront discussing new approaches and perspectives
towards the field of urban design. It is crucial for NUDC to yearly address new
issues within urban development inviting the best within their fields from the
international arena, and draw on their experience. It is important for NUDA to
establish a high professional and exclusive urban design conference which ables
to create international and Nordic networks while at the same time promoting the
necessity of urban design as an important tool within urban management.
Strategy
The NUDC strategy displays a high ambition to become the foremost important urban
design conference and network forum within the Nordic countries seeking to challenge
professionals with something out of the ordinary.
As urban design is still not established as a certified profession within the
Nordic countries, NUDA has strategically defined NUDC as the most important forum
for promoting urban design within the Nordic countries. NUDA has defined a five
years strategy for increasing knowledge about urban design, knowledge about Nordic
Urban Design Association and slowly build a good relationship to urban designers
and other professionals as an organisation of necessity.
Keynote speakers
The NUDC will always thrive to invite the best professionals within their field
of expertise as conference keynotes. This will enable NUDC to stand out as an
attractive and important conference for sharing necessary knowledge about urban
design and place making.
