At Urban Initiatives we have a strong commitment to enriching public space in practical, sensitive and sustainable ways. For 30 years our landscape architectural and urban design practice has sought to adhere to a clear ethical position as practitioners in the design of the built environment. We are committed to bringing economical and elegant design solutions to the public realm in which we are privileged to work. Based in central Melbourne and Hobart, we service a variety of private and government clients throughout Victoria and Tasmania.
