Stephen Proctor is one of five invited tutors at the University for the Creative Arts (UCA) Urban Design Autumn School. Using Canterbury as a test bed to speculate about the extension of the city beyond its existing urban perimeter, this 2-day event focuses on the theme ‘Growing the City: Designing the Urban Edge’ and the challenges of planning and designing for substantial growth in historically and ecologically sensitive contexts.

Organised by Design South East and the MA Urban Design course at UCA Canterbury, the programme introduces the latest strategies in creating well designed, specific, robust and sustainable places. Students will develop design proposals, taking into account the historical and infrastructural context of the site, landscape patterns, urban design principles, public spaces, and building typologies.
