The climate emergency demands urban designers who can integrate net-zero strategies, green infrastructure and resilience thinking into the way we plan and build new neighbourhoods.

At Architecture Social, we work with sustainability-focused urban design practices and environmental consultancies whose masterplanning work directly addresses climate resilience, biodiversity and low-carbon place-making. We maintain active shortlists of senior urban designers with strong sustainability credentials for roles as they emerge.

What our clients typically ask for:
• Senior urban designers with a strong understanding of environmental sustainability applied to neighbourhood-scale development
• Experience developing climate-responsive urban design strategies incorporating green infrastructure and SuDS
• Knowledge of BREEAM Communities, One Planet Living and circular economy frameworks
• Ability to integrate urban heat island mitigation, biodiversity net gain and sustainable drainage into masterplans
• Understanding of London's Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard and emerging environmental regulations
• Skills in producing sustainability-focused design codes and energy masterplans
• Experience demonstrating measurable environmental outcomes through urban design decisions

If your urban design work is tackling the climate emergency, we want to hear from you.
