Rooted in creativity and resourcefulness, Urban Design Perspectives has been shaping spaces since our incorporation in Minnesota on January 31, 1999. Our journey began long before that, sparked by the childhood dreams of our Founding Principal, Alicia Belton. Whether she was making art or building structures out of everyday objects, Alicia's early passion for creation laid the foundation for everything we do today. That same spirit drives our practice now. We believe in the power of imagination and remain deeply committed to using the resources around us creatively, purposefully, and wisely.
