Cutting-edge technology. World-class education. Gigabit-speed fiber network. Urbana is a city where artists, thinkers, and innovators thrive. And we’re just getting started!</p> <p>Urbana boasts a history built on innovation. From the famed <a href="http://explorecu.org/items/show/182" target="_blank">Morrow Plots</a>, a National Historic Landmark, to the groundbreaking research conducted every day on the flagship campus of the University of Illinois, Urbana embraces creative thinking and diversity to drive innovation and advancement.</p> <p><strong>New to Urbana?</strong></p> <p>Connect with the <a title="Chambana Welcome Crew" href="https://yourewelcomecu.com/cwc/" target="_blank">Chambana Welcome Crew</a>, a group of Ambassadors that are here to answer questions, share experiences, and ensure a smooth transition into our area.</p> <p><strong>You’ll never have to wonder “what to do” in Urbana!</strong></p> <p>There’s Market at the Square, one of the state’s largest farmers’ markets (and a beloved Saturday morning tradition), the Boneyard Arts Festival, the Ellnora Guitar Festival, and the Illinois Marathon, just to name a few. We’ve got festivals, celebrations, and events to pique every interest. Go <a href="https://www.urbanaillinois.us/visitors/about-urbana/community-attractions-urbana" target="_blank">here</a> to see community attractions in the area. </p> <p>We’re connected to each other and the world thanks to an award-winning mass transit district, AMTRAK rail, a regional airport, and three major interstates. Prefer to get around on two wheels? We are proud to be the first Gold Level Bicycle Friendly Community in Illinois.</p> <p>Our West Urbana neighborhood has been named of the <a href="https://www.planning.org/greatplaces/neighborhoods/2007/westurbana.htm" target="_blank">10 Great Neighborhoods in America</a> by the American Planning Association, and together with our twin city Champaign, we’ve been recognized as the <a href="http://www.visitchampaigncounty.org/articles/detail/35/midwest-living-magazine-readers-vote-champaign-urbana-the-greatest-food-town" target="_blank">Greatest Food Town in the Midwest</a> by Midwest Living Magazine, as well as an AARP Age-Friendly Community.</p> <p>Led by Mayor Diane Wolfe Marlin, Urbana’s progressive values include civic engagement, celebrating entrepreneurs and innovators, smart growth, and transparent governance.</p> <p>Award-winning schools, outstanding parks, a mosaic of diverse and engaged neighborhoods, a robust array of businesses located throughout the city, and reliable public services committed to the best possible quality of life for residents – all this makes Urbana a great place to live.
