Its partners include Lantau Conservation Fund, the Architecture Department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Wan Chai District Council, Southern District Council, the Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Hong Kong, and Partnerships for Community Development.[2][3][4]

In 2023, Urban Diary participated in the Singapore Night Festival organized by the National Heritage Board. The Ministry of Culture of Taiwan described Urban Diary's project as "a bridge between people and the community".
