It was founded on 17 June 2010 with the support of Hong Kong Government who sent the Secretary for Development to officiate the inaugural launch. The founding president is Bernard Lim Wan-fung JP (林雲峰).{{cite web |title=LIM, Wan-fung Bernard, JP (林云峰) |url=http://www.arch.cuhk.edu.hk/v1/index.php/people/facultypage/7 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130129132228/http://www.arch.cuhk.edu.hk/v1/index.php/people/facultypage/7 |archivedate=2013-01-29 }}
Focus
The institute is mainly involved in accreditation of urban design professionals, advisory on urban issues, and education in the field. It is also a medium for networking between urban design professionals in Hong Kong.{{cite web|title=Introduction|url=http://www.hkiud.org/en/about-us/introduction|publisher=Hong Kong Institute of Urban Design|accessdate=26 June 2013}}

It also hosts a wing for students and younger practitioners called Young Urban-Design Professionals (YUP), and holds ties to the urban design programmes offered by Chinese University of Hong Kong and the University of Hong Kong. The group supported a design competition for a public works bridge project in Tai O in 2012.{{cite web|title=Tai O Twin bridges: design competition now open|url=http://www.hkmonitor.org.hk/archive_6Dec12/hketo6_story5.html|work=Hong Kong Monitor|publisher=Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office|accessdate=26 June 2013|date=6 December 2012}}
One of the institute's notable events was the 2012 HKIUD International Conference held at Langham Place with over 200 participants in workshops, panel discussions and guided tours on the theme of "Urban Design as Public Policy" over two days.
