About the
Welcome to the Student Urbanism Society (SUS)!
We’re a vibrant community of students from the University of Sydney who share a passion for cities, urbanism, and planning. Based at the School of Architecture, Design and Planning (ADP), our society brings together students across disciplines to connect, learn, and thrive.
At SUS, we aim to foster an inclusive environment where urban enthusiasts can explore their interests, meet like-minded peers, and engage with professionals in the field. Whether you’re studying urban design, planning, or just love exploring the dynamics of city life and cities, we’ve got something for you.
