In
2014, the DPU celebrated 60 years of education, training, research, consultancy
and knowledge sharing in urban and regional development policy and planning in
Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. DPU’s focus on urban
development and planning in what is now often referred to as ‘the Global South’
was unique in the UK and abroad at the time of its establishment in 1954, and
when it moved to UCL from the Architectural Association in 1971.

generations of practitioners addressing urban, regional and national
development.
