About urban
At urban, we strive to BeMore in all that we do.
At urban, we have a vision of a greener and more inclusive industry, that’s why we are taking steps to BeMore green and BeMore inclusive.
We know what matters to our clients and candidates, and the core issues facing the architecture industry in the 21st century. That’s why our goal is to be a green, fully carbon-neutral architectural recruiter, whilst striving to make the architectural industry more inclusive.
“Architecture is our passion.”
Our journey is well underway. Due to the success of our BeMore Inclusive programme in the UK, we have extended our reach into the US, and in conjunction with the IIDA which supports young people from under-represented backgrounds into architecture and to help built environment employers to access a more diverse workforce. We work hard to support diverse voices, to ensure those individuals are heard. Which is why we hope to not only make a difference but to inspire others to make a change too.
That’s why we ensure our team consists of like-minded individuals that share the same passion. You will see them regularly attending industry events and architecture tours, ensuring we are always updating our knowledge of the sector. The team also attends and arranges charity events and beach clean ups.
As part of our vision to BeMore green, we have gifted and planted over 120 trees and are offsetting our CO2 emissions through a verified Carbon Standard (VCS) reduction Scheme. Find out more about our carbon offsetting here.
“Urban is carbon net-zero (2020).
Urban’s office can be found in Portsmouth, Hampshire and we provide recruitment solutions exclusively for architecture and interior design roles across the UK, Ireland, USA and the Middle East.
“All of our hard work has made our long-term goal attainable.”
