About us

Who we are

Urbanism Focus is a Ugandan initiative dedicated to championing people centered urban change. We believe that cities are not just buildings and roads but living spaces shaped by the people that inhabit them. Our mission is to amplify community voices, influence urban policy, and promote sustainable urban development across Uganda.

We work at the intersection of research, advocacy and grassroots action, connecting communities, policymakers and professionals to create cities that are safe, accessible and vibrant for everyone. From street level interventions and community dialogues to policy recommendations and awareness campaigns, Urbanism Focus ensures that urban growth prioritizes people and sustainability.
