All Things Urban

Publica is a research and urban design agency that works at a variety of scales, from the detailed design of a single street to setting the vision and strategy for an entire district. We are an ambitious and energetic company that advises local authorities, landowners, developers, architects and community organisations, both in London and abroad. Our projects are driven by rigorous analysis of place and context, combining active, in-depth fieldwork and documentation with an ongoing study of international best practice.

At Publica, you will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team, preparing and delivering public realm strategies, masterplans and concept designs for sites across London and the UK.

Publica’s team has detailed knowledge and understanding of urban conditions, coupled with a high level of technical expertise in the fields of public realm and urban design, strategic planning, research, film production, communications and graphic design. We place great emphasis on producing engaging, informative and accessible communications material as an integral part of our project work, in the dissemination of our research, and as a tool for advocating for a holistic, evidence-based approach to urban growth.

Urban Designer & Project Assistant candidates should have RIBA Part I or II, Masters or equivalent qualification, with all ranges of professional experience. This includes experience in both detailed analytical work and of producing urban design and public realm proposals. Further desirable attributes include excellent drawing, mapping, photography and writing skills.

We’re not fully sure whether this role is open to international candidates. If you would need visa sponsorship or work authorisation, we recommend checking directly with the employer before applying.
