Urban Communication Foundation

The Urban Communication Foundation recognizes the worldwide radical growth of cities along with the changing channels of communication, the shifting designs of urban structures, and the growth of regulation and infrastructures governing the community and social interaction.

Communication is central to understanding the continuing global expansion of the urban landscape and requires the fusion of research that stresses the understanding of dynamic communication patterns, the humane design of public space, thoughtful architectural design, and the creation of regulatory processes both benevolent and realistic.

The mission of The Urban Communication Foundation is to:

1. support through grants research that enhances society’s understanding of urban communication patterns; 
2. encourage through conferences and symposia collaboration between scholars, urban planners, and policymakers;
3. promote through publications research strategies and 
4. recognize through awards and noteworthy scholarship that encourages and fuses urban practice and study.

The Urban Communication Foundation was founded in 2005 as a (501 (c) 3) organization.
