| This component of the UDC's mission is focused on developing a stronger urban design culture in Western Australia, creating a shared sense of responsibility for the quality of the urban environment and encouraging wider community participation in a productive debate about the future of our cities and neighbourhoods.
Advocacy programs include a variety of structured and informal activities designed to promote awareness of the importance of good design in city building and to stimulate a rich and provocative dialogue about significant urban development issues of Perth and the regional communities of WA.
