Introducing our equality, diversity and inclusion principles

The Department of Urban Studies and Planning is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI).

Our department building on the edge of Western Park

We have agreed a set of EDI Principles to guide all aspects of our work, including teaching and research. These principles are designed to ensure that we become a more equal, diverse and inclusive place to study and work. They support our commitment to train the next generation of urban professionals whose diversity of background and experience reflects life in the 21st century city and whose knowledge and skills are attuned to contemporary urban and planning challenges. 

We have begun by recognising ways in which we need to do more to create an equal, diverse and inclusive environment. We are implementing these principles in our work and relationships within the Department. Read more about the ways in which we are doing this.
