The Yale Urban Design Workshop is a Community Design Center based at the Yale School of Architecture in New Haven, Connecticut.
We collaborate with communities in Connecticut and around the world to plan, design and realize projects that enact positive change to make healthier, more vibrant, more resilient, and more inclusive places.  We are architects, urban designers, planners, researchers, and students.  In all our work, we are committed to community-based processes, grounded in broad participation and a vision of design as a tool for community organizing, empowerment, and capacity-building.
