The Urban Future Exchange (UFX) is a provocative and politically savvy social enterprise, leading progressive discussion in urban studies and related disciplines, in pursuit of an urban future for South Australia that is healthy, confident, equitable and sustainable.
The UFX cultivates a diverse membership in order to inform independent advocacy activity and empower professional communities across disciplines. We do this by bringing people together in a trustworthy, safe, and non-partisan environment.
We provoke mature discussion by discovering and exploring nuances within issues which have otherwise been glossed over or accepted as ‘knowns.’ We challenge ideas and test assumptions. We distinguish between politics and partisanship, and encourage political psychology as being integral to the public decision-making that governs urban futures.
A key platform for engagement is UFX events. We deliver a range of public and members only events.
