Kent State University's Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative (CUDC) is an urban design practice committed to a sustainable, vibrant and inclusive urban future. We combine client-based projects, applied research, graduate teaching and advocacy to impact urban design decisions and land use policy in Cleveland, Northeast Ohio, and beyond. We work closely with stakeholders, civic organizations, academic partners, students, and a multidisciplinary network of professionals to address emerging issues, locally and nationally, and expand the ideas, energy, and resources dedicated to making better cities.
