Description

Joining Arup


Arup's purpose, shared values and collaborative approach has set us apart for over 75 years, guiding how we shape a better world.


There is a risk that social value and equity can be seen as secondary elements of a project or development.

Our approach is different.

At Arup, we see the social value and equity of any proposed scheme as a chance to think big, consult and co-design working in partnership to produce something of lasting value for all.

Clients and communities' goals can and should overlap - and we can work to create long-term social value and equity part of any scheme, right from the start.
