I believe the Architects who are identified as Urban Designers and Urbanism should have a council that represent them interest. I've been working as urban designer and I don't see too much information and support out there.
I know The Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) is one of the few thing out there. however, this include urban planning, economist, etc...when I post the questions, I am looking for more opinions or comments more close to architecture than the economics and statistics point of view.
It doesn't sound crazy, but it's not easy. The CNU, AIA, AICP, ULI... these organizations tend to start informally as like-minded folks meeting after other conferences and conventions, then gradually grow and formalize. It takes years, and some groups fold and die out along the way, or just limp along with a few members. Growing an active membership and keeping it engaged is a large and continuous effort. Years' worth.
This is not to discourage, only to inform.

UDUC = Urban Design and Urbanism Council.
what do you think? Is it crazy idea?

Do you think this is a crazy idea? Do you think make sense to create a council or association? Please share your comments.
