The City Development Department is responsible for a wide range of services, the major areas being the promotion of jobs in the local economy, the maintenance of the City's Road Network, Transportation facilities and Council properties and the control of development and building operations. We also undertake a variety of important policy and strategic functions and work in partnership with other departments and agencies in order to deliver major corporate objectives. We provide a wide range of services which are designed to both seek out opportunity and respond to the needs of the City as a whole.

Architectural Services is a new Division within the City Development Department which provides a multi-discipline service relating to design, cost, management, procurement and construction for building projects for all Dundee City Council Departments.   The Division extends this service to the Joint Boards of Police, Fire and Tay Road Bridge and adjoining Authorities.

Dundee is a key player in the Scottish economy, with strengths in sectors such as contact centres, digital media, financial services, life sciences, and the City Development Department occupies a key position within Dundee City Council.

The Department is ideally placed to assist in the delivery of the Council's objectives as set out in its Corporate Plan and assist in the Council's provision of services and leadership to the citizens of Dundee.

The multi-disciplinary teams continue to successfully work towards the common goal of creating and retaining jobs in the city, and increase investment and employment opportunities in Dundee.

The Department comprises 7 Divisions:

• Architects
