After a decade of making London greener,
Urban Growth closed at the end of 2024.

While we are no longer offering our services, we retain this website as a celebration of the spaces we transformed with thousands of Londoners. We are deeply grateful to the countless partners, funders, clients, staff and volunteers who made these achievements possible. We are honoured to have been a part of the positive evolution of the city, and to have contributed to the discussion about how we make our urban spaces more healthy, inclusive and sustainable.

Through a commitment to creating green spaces, fostering connections, and leading educational workshops, Urban Growth strives to contribute to the transformation of London into a greener, healthier, and more sustainable city for all.

At Urban Growth, our activities are centred around three core areas

  • Wellbeing

    We improve wellbeing by connecting city-dwellers with nature on their doorstep. Inspired by our innate biophilia, the love for nature, we create indoor and outdoor spaces that invite people to experience the benefits of greenery and reconnect with the natural world.

  • Engagement

    At the heart of what we do. We actively involve volunteers, communities and businesses, offering valuable skill-building opportunities. Our created and maintained spaces are thoughtfully designed to educate and inspire individuals, fostering a sense of responsibility and care for the natural world.

  • Environment

    Our focus on the environment drives us to create and nurture therapeutic green spaces that support the flourishing of both people and nature. Guided by permaculture principles, we prioritise sustainable practices, avoiding the use of chemicals and promoting urban biodiversity.
