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

- We design, develop, and maintain green spaces, both indoors and outdoors, within urban environments.
- Our team of experts utilises sustainable practices to create vibrant and environmentally friendly spaces.
- We aim to enhance the quality of life in urban areas by introducing nature, biodiversity and greenery.
- We foster connections and collaborations among diverse stakeholders, including communities, local groups, businesses, and governmental organisations.
- By bringing people together, we promote dialogue, knowledge-sharing, and collective action towards creating greener and more sustainable cities.
- We offer a range of educational programs focused on sustainable practices, environmental conservation and urban gardening.
- Our gardening clubs are designed to engage participants of all ages and backgrounds, providing them with practical knowledge and skills.
- By empowering individuals through education, we aim to cultivate a deeper understanding of environmental issues and inspire action within local communities.

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.
