Urban Design Perspectives

Urban Design Perspectives is a Minneapolis-based firm that uses the framework of architecture, project management and community engagement to create residential, workplace and religious spaces that serve our client's mission. As an AIA 2030 signatory firm, Urban Design Perspectives is committed to environmental stewardship, client advocacy and equitable practices. Our vision is to design wellness in the world. This is reflective in how we practice through our S.H.A.K.E. values of Service, Honesty, Adaptability, Kindness and Experience providing a model for how we deliver client services. We also seek to be life long learners providing forums for personal and professional growth through our book club and SHAKE outreach events. Founded in 1999, UDP has developed a specialty niche in designing adaptive reuse of existing buildings and creating diverse project teams that exceed clients goals for inclusion and participation of WBE, MBE and SBE firms.
