Welcome to Urbanism at the University of Michigan
A club for anyone interested in making cities better for people
What is Urbanism?
Urbanism is a belief in cities and their potential for good. Cities are where people and the environment can thrive together.
Our current car-centric land usage has been mired in historical racism, climate arson, and financial insolvency.
Urbanists like those at the Urbanism Club are working to change the paradigm towards more livable cities. Urbanists believe that cities should be places that are environmentally friendly, financially solvent, and spaces for spontaneous social interactions.
What does the Urbanism Club do?
The Urbanism Club is a student-led activist group that pushes the urbanism agenda by informing the community about different tenets of urbanism. We bring local leaders and university faculty members to speak about different issues to better inform.
We also conduct a variety of projects within the campus and Ann Arbor community to advocate for the improvement of the built environment.
