Republishing Guidelines

As of July 2025

The following guidelines govern the digital republication of articles published by The Urban Developer (we/us/our/TUD). These guidelines are for digital republishing articles only. If you are interested in re-publishing an article in print or outside these terms, you must obtain prior written approval from the managing editor at news@theurbandeveloper.com

Our mission as an organisation is to better connect, inform and inspire our community so as to yield better and smarter urban outcomes for our cities.

A foundation of this strategy is to allow our readers and community to republish our articles in digital channels under a Creative Commons — Attribution/No derivatives license.

All material published by The Urban Developer is our intellectual property unless otherwise stated. If you'd like to republish an article, please follow the republishing guidelines.

We ask that you do not reprint any articles from TUD in full. You may only publish the first 50 words and then provide a link to the original article.
Include the source link. You must include a prominent link to the original article on www.theurbandeveloper.com placed immediately following the excerpt or quote.
Include the canonical tag to the article. Where technically possible, you must include a canonical tag pointing to the original URL: <link rel=”canonical” href=”URL OF BLOG POST”> (or use an appropriate plugin).
Do not make changes to an article. You must not modify, adapt, translate, or edit the article in any way without prior written approval from our managing editor.
You must credit The Urban Developer. You must clearly attribute the article as "This article was published by The Urban Developer", with our name hyperlinked to either our homepage or the article URL. This credit must appear both at the beginning and end of the republished excerpt.
You are not able to sell our content.
You have to check that you are licensed to use the images used in the article you are republishing. Copyright terms are generally listed in the image caption and attribution. You are welcome to omit our images or substitute with your own. Charts and interactive graphics follow the same rules.
Do not systematically republish all of our articles.
Do not misrepresent or use our content in any way that may damage the reputation of TUD or imply sponsorship or endorsement.

We reserve the right to withdraw or modify these guidelines at any time without notice. Failure to comply may result in takedown requests and/or legal action. We also reserve all rights in relation to our intellectual property not expressly granted herein.

Special cases
