The best streets and public spaces put people first — and the urban designers who shape them are transforming how cities move, breathe and feel.

At Architecture Social, we work with urban design consultancies, transport planning firms, local authorities and landscape practices across the UK who commission public realm improvements, streetscape enhancements and active travel infrastructure. We are regularly briefed on projects ranging from pedestrian zone design and cycle route planning to green corridor strategies and Healthy Streets initiatives. When our clients need urban designers who understand the intersection of movement and place, we want your name ready.

What Our Clients Typically Ask For:

• Urban designers with experience designing streetscape and public realm layouts including pedestrian zones, cycle routes and green corridors
• Professionals who can develop section drawings and 3D visualisations of proposed street transformations
• Skills in pedestrian movement analysis, space syntax assessments and evidence-based design approaches
• Experience preparing public realm strategies for local authorities, Transport for London or transport bodies
• Ability to coordinate with highways engineers, landscape architects, lighting designers and sustainability consultants
• Familiarity with Manual for Streets, LTN 1/20 and Healthy Streets guidance frameworks
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suite, SketchUp and GIS

If your design work prioritises pedestrians, cyclists and public transport users while improving safety and environmental quality, we want to hear from you.

Why Register With Architecture Social

Registering with Architecture Social places you among the first urban designers we contact when transport and public realm opportunities arise across our client network. We understand the growing demand for designers who can bridge the gap between urban design vision and transport engineering reality, and we work closely with practices to match that need with the right talent. Our approach is personal and confidential — we take the time to understand your project experience, design interests and career ambitions so that when the right opportunity surfaces, we can make the introduction seamlessly. You will benefit from early access to roles that may never reach public job boards, along with dedicated support from a consultant who genuinely understands the public realm and active travel sector.

How to Apply

Submit your CV and portfolio showcasing your transport and public realm design work. Once registered, your dedicated consultant will keep you informed and contact you as soon as the ideal opportunity appears. We treat every candidate as a priority — your expertise in creating streets and spaces that work for people is in demand, and we want to ensure you are matched with the consultancies and projects that will value your vision the most.
