Local Authority Urban Design Forum (LAUDF)

Two years ago, A&DS supported the establishment of the Local Authority Urban Design Forum to provide a means for practitioners in local authorities and other public bodies to share issues and ways of addressing them.

The Forum meets twice a year to share experiences from across Scotland. It is a peer based learning forum, which publishes its learning outcomes following each meeting, and is open to local authority and public sector staff from across Scotland. The most recent outputs are available here.

The Design Skills Symposium follow up event was delivered in collaboration with the LAUDF.
