AAD Cities is a research group at the School of Art, Architecture and Design at London Metropolitan University, investigating the complexities of the contemporary city. We are a group of practitioners, academics and students who carry out scholarly, participatory and action research as well as graduate education, urban activism and advisory activities in London and overseas.
Embodying London Met’s commitment to giving back to our city and Empowering London AAD Cities people are always looking to understand how cities function, what they are made of and how to make them better through design and policy for the people who live and work in them.
“Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody.”
