AR Urbanism is working with Mole Valley District Council in Surrey to prepare masterplans for Dorking Town Centre and Bookham Village. We've now completed the public consultation stage, and are really pleased to have received a huge response to both of the draft masterplans. Over 230 people attended our exhibition events, and 1200 people sent responses to our online consultation. Next steps for us: reviewing all the feedback received, and refining the masterplan ideas.
Back in October, AR Urbanism's Senior Urban Designer Ioana Gherghel attended ISOCARP - International Society of City and Regional Planners in Siena. In this article, Ioana reflects on the lessons in tolerance and belonging she learnt from this ancient city, and how these tenets of social value emerge in urban design.

Last week, Riccardo Bobisse and Ioana Gherghel from the ARU team presented at a workshop on community engagement and social value regeneration processes at UCL. It provided excellent food for thought and was stimulating both in terms of the questions asked and the interesting work by Comune di Reggio Emilia. Thank you Irene Manzini Ceinar, PhD, Richard Simmons, Pablo Sendra, and Tommaso Gabrieli from UCL, and Nicholas Falk of URBED (Urbanism Environment and Design) Ltd. It was a great morning!

Great to meet the Newcastle team in person today, and what a lovely day to walk around the Toon! Thanks for having us at the Homes England office, Kirsty Tewkesbury and Emily Oaten. Our place based social value work continues...😊
We were extremely happy to see a big turn out for the launch of the Public Realm Vision and Strategy for the Culture Mile BID area on Wednesday night. julie bowerman, Will Dyson, and our very own Richard Crappsley presented highlights from their work developing the strategy for the BID, the culmination of a year-long study by Steer, AR Urbanism and AUTHENTIC FUTURES LTD. Great to get such a positive response!
📢 Big News! After 10 years, we’re moving office – from Shoreditch… to Shoreditch! Just a little closer to Liverpool Street. 🚶♂️🚶♀️ As we open the doors to our new space, we’re excited to welcome colleagues, friends, and clients to our fresh home base.

We are so thrilled to announce that our Shrub Hill Quarter Supplementary Planning Document in Worcester has been adopted without amendment. We have been working alongside the Worcester City and Worcestershire County Councils to bring to life a new neighbourhood that promotes a happy and healthy lifestyle for its residents through thoughtful and varied housing options, beautiful green spaces, and effective connectivity. We can’t wait to watch the project move ahead. Special thanks to Kevin Moore from Worcester City Council, Penny Unwin from Worcestershire County Council, and Ben Morrison from London Continental Railways.
A spooky season snap from St Nicolas Church cemetery in Bookham. Taken the other day by our founder Amanda Reynolds after two very successful community engagement sessions in Dorking and Bookham with over 240 residents from the area to test ideas for these village and town centres in Mole Valley District Council. Happy Halloween, everyone!
