Urban Rooms
Spaces where people can come together to help create a future for their local area.
Urban Rooms are spaces where people come together to engage creatively in the past, present and future of their local area.
The Urban Rooms Network (URN) represents organisations who are involved in Urban Rooms across the UK with members drawn from the arts, planning, architecture, education, heritage, community and local government.
This film showcases work from Urban Rooms across the UK including Folkestone, Rochdale and Chatham. It also features Live Works, the University of Sheffield School of Architecture and Landscape's Urban Room in Sheffield city centre.
Live Works is the UK's first permanent university-funded Urban Room and connects students of architecture with local community groups, creative practitioners and policy-makers to collaborate on 'Live Projects' that make a real difference to the development of our city.
This film is made in collaboration with the Urban Rooms Network and funded through University of Sheffield Knowledge Exchange.
