About CUrbanism Club
CUrbanism Club started in 2021 to advocate for a variety of housing and transportation choices in Champaign Urbana and to help build connected communities that people could access with or without a car.
How we work
Reform the rules
Back zoning reform and streamlined permitting so more homes are legal to build, especially near transit and jobs.
Educate & engage
Turn out residents to the meetings that matter and make it easy to take a pro-housing position on local projects.
Build partnerships
Work with neighbors, labor, faith groups, and builders toward a shared abundant-housing agenda.
CUrbanism Club is a chapter of YIMBY Action.
One of the local groups organizing for more homes across the country, backed by the national team.
