Urban Design Career Exploration

Are you curious about the field of urban design and how it shapes the design of our cities, public spaces, and communities? Whether you're interested in the principles behind creating sustainable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing environments or in exploring the variety of career opportunities in this dynamic field, now is the perfect time to learn more.

In partnership with UNC Charlotte's Ravin School of Architecture, the Charlotte Urban Design Center is hosting a career exploration event for students and community members interested in a career in urban design.

This event will take place from 6-8 PM, and will begin with a panel discussion featuring alumni from UNCC's Master of Urban Design program. Attendees will get a better understanding of a day in the life of an urban designer while gaining insight into the transition between college and joining the workforce. An informal networking session will follow the panel discussion.

Featured firms attending include: Neighboring Concepts, LandDesign, McAdams, Little, Stantec, Kimley-Horn, and Kittleson.

Food and refreshments will be provided.

The City of Charlotte is committed to making our services and programs accessible to all. Upon request, auxiliary aids, written materials in alternative formats, language access, and other reasonable accommodations or modifications will be provided.
