Global Urban Development Gud

Global Urban Development (GUD) is a worldwide non-profit policy organization founded in 2001, consisting of a rapidly growing network of more than 700 dynamic and well-known urban leaders from many different countries representing a wide range of occupations and institutions. GUD has offices in Barcelona, Beijing, Berkeley, Cape Town, Curitiba, Dubai, Hong Kong, London, Porto Alegre, Poznan, Prague, Sao Paulo, Singapore, Sydney, Toronto, and Washington, DC. We conduct education, research, and action to promote policy ideas that help generate more equitable urban planning and more sustainable urban development throughout the world. To further these goals, we publish the state-of-the-art Global Urban Development Magazine on our legacy website, and we engage in projects in partnership with a wide variety of international organizations.
