Urban Design

 The Studio

The Urban Design Center operates out of the South End Studio located at 1507 Camden Road, Charlotte NC 28203.  The Studio previously operated as a trolley museum and now serves as the hub of urban design and placemaking for the City of Charlotte.  Although the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the unveiling of the refreshed space, the Charlotte Urban Design Center team will once again open its doors with new events and capacity-building programs for civic innovation in Summer 2022.  Keep up to date with announcements by following the Urban Design Center on social media (@clturbandesign).

In the meantime, please come and enjoy The Studio's public patio space.  Stop by for a game of five-person ping-pong or a teeter-totter ride!
