The CUCD has a commitment to learn from and transfer knowledge and expertise to others to help the individuals of the communities in which we work, learn and retain necessary skills to promote principled urban development and sustainable design strategies. We believe capacity building is an effective method of building the necessary skills of individuals, community leaders, and elected officials to overcome the results of inaction and the causes of suffering. We work in and for both local and international communities.
