Urban is a magazine that celebrates the art – and science – of urban design.
With a focus on projects initiated by local and central government, we cover the work of our exceptional designers, and the results they achieve in cities and towns all over New Zealand .
The magazine looks even further afield, featuring projects in Australia too and we wrap up the latest trends from all around the world in a special ‘International’ section.
We cover architecture from an urban design standpoint, and highlight the work of New Zealand’s landscape architects too. Education and training within the urban design community is also a growing area for us.
Urban was created just a few years ago – our first issue was published in September 2007 – after Mediaweb discovered the skill and vision that lies behind many of this country’s urban design projects. We publish four times a year and our website covers news and current affairs from the sector on a continuous basis.

Charles Fairbairn has been with TPL Media (now Mediaweb) since 2005. He has been with URBAN magazine since it was a concept in the editor's brain, and can remember selling it without a media-kit, let alone an on-line biography. He has ambitions of running the marathon, a single-figure golf handicap and a brilliant career reviewing films with the New Yorker.
