Milestones

Urbanistas is Founded in London, May 2012

Urbanistas was founded in London by Liane Hartley. Despite encountering hundreds of talented and entrepreneurial women over the course of her career, that she considered as innovators and exciting practitioners in her field, she noticed that their work and ideas remained largely hidden. She hardly read about them, heard about them, or heard them speak. She wanted to change that. She invited a group of these amazing and like-minded women to come together to share their passion for cities and ideas for making them better for everyone. Ten years on, and Urbanistas is still a platform for women to help other women and we have grown with chapters across the UK, US, Europe and Australia.
