Urban Design Forum

Beth Wilkinson

Urban Design Forum is a non-profit organisation that supports public interest outcomes in the environments we shape. We believe in the role that cities can play in solving the major challenges of our time. The Forum has three roles: to create a supportive network of urban designers and allied professionals, to share knowledge on best practice urbanism, and to research and advocate for better urban education, systems and outcomes.

Wominjeka (Welcome). We acknowledge the Yaluk-ut Weelam as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet. Yaluk-ut Weelam means ‘people of the river camp’ and is connected with the coastal land at the head of Port Phillip Bay, extending from the Werribee River to Mordialloc. The Yaluk-ut Weelam are part of the Boon Wurrung, one of the five major language groups of the greater Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the land, their ancestors and their elders—past, present and to the future.
