Project partners

Urban Retrofit is a co-produced research project that brings together a consortium of UK partners in the public sector, private sector and third sector with planning, property development and communities expertise. Our partners are integral to the design and delivery of the project and are involved in every stage of the research journey.

Local Authority Partners

We are working in partnership with five UK local authorities in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and in the north and south of England. Urban Retrofit is also partnered with the Core Cities UK alliance, which works with local authorities to share best practices.
