All Things Urban City Chapters are local communities of urbanists, planners, designers and city-makers, meeting in real life to learn, connect and shape better cities together. Find your chapter and join the movement.
For years, All Things Urban has connected tens of thousands of urbanists and organisations across the globe, building one of the world's largest communities of city-makers.
Our Chapters bring that network closer to home. They create opportunities to meet, exchange ideas, build meaningful relationships, and spark collaborations within your city, while remaining connected to a global community shaping the future of urbanism.
Because some of the best ideas emerge when different perspectives meet.
The largest community-based career platform for urbanists working on city challenges worldwide, spanning careers, education, events and organisations.

Urbanism is a team sport played across disciplines, sectors and cities. Chapters give you a local home for the work, and the people who get it.
Meet the planners, designers, mobility and policy people shaping your city. Turn online contacts into real collaborators, mentors and friends.
Walk real projects, hear what worked and what didn't from the people who built them, and pressure-test your own ideas. The city is the classroom.
Cities don't change from a desk. Chapters turn conversation into action: local initiatives, shared knowledge, and a stronger collective voice for urbanism.
Our Chapters are designed to mix the urban ecosystem: students alongside practitioners, researchers alongside entrepreneurs, public-sector leaders alongside consultants. Because the most interesting ideas often emerge when different perspectives meet.
Alongside these cross-sector connections, we also create opportunities tailored to different career stages, interests, and professional goals.
Find your footing: mentors, first connections, and an honest map of the many careers inside urbanism, from someone who's walked the path.
Grow your craft and your network. Swap practice across disciplines and cities, and find the collaborators for your next project or move.
Stay sharp, give back, and meet peers across sectors. Shape the local agenda and spot the talent coming up behind you.
Meetups, walks, talks and the people behind them, from chapters around the world.
No chapter in your city yet? Be the one who starts it. Leads host meetups, welcome new members and put their city on the urbanist map, with our team behind you the whole way.
Universities, studios, city governments, NGOs and companies: chapters are a direct, local channel to an engaged urbanist community. Co-host events, share opportunities, or support a chapter in your city.
Every chapter runs its own rhythm. Here's the kind of thing to expect once you're in.
Casual gatherings to meet local urbanists over coffee or drinks.
Guided walks through projects, neighbourhoods and public space.
Lightning talks, panels and workshops led by members and partners.
A City Chapter is a local community of urbanists, hosted by a volunteer Chapter Lead and supported by All Things Urban. Chapters meet in person to connect, learn and collaborate on city challenges.
Joining is free. Apply through your city's form and your Chapter Lead will be in touch with how to get involved.
No. Chapters welcome practitioners, students, researchers and career-switchers across every discipline that touches the city. Curiosity is the only requirement.
Both. Chapters deliberately mix experience levels, and you'll find conversations, peers and opportunities pitched at your stage, whether that's a first internship or a leadership role.
Join the waitlist so we can notify you when a chapter launches near you, or apply to become a Chapter Lead and start one yourself, we'll support you all the way.
Yes. Universities, studios, city governments, NGOs and companies can co-host events, share opportunities or support a chapter. Reach out via the collaborate section above.
Join your local chapter and help shape the future of your city, one connection at a time.
