Natalia Uribe
Cities Director I Urban Futures

Natalia is an architect and urbanist with over 20 years of experience, specialising in cities at the LSE. My career path has been shaped by a wealth of experience in architectural design and masterplanning. She has worked in over 25 countries, including the Middle East, UK and several countries across Latin America, collaborating with both public and private sector clients to deliver transformative projects for cities, people and communities. These experiences have provided me with a deep understanding of the complexities of urbanisation across diverse cultural, social and economic contexts on a global scale.

She adopts a cross-disciplinary approach in her projects, integrating design, environmental sustainability and social ecosystems. Her expertise encompasses advisory roles, stakeholder engagement, strategic planning and developing placemaking and social impact strategies that align with the Sustainable Development Goals. She thrives on fostering meaningful collaboration, whether mentoring multicultural teams, co-creating solutions with communities or guiding clients toward a shared vision for a sustainable urban future.
