Centre for Researching Cities

Description

Cities are the concentration of social, infrastructural, and economic activity in space. Defined by density, proximity, and juxtaposition, cities act as accelerators of change. They concentrate vulnerabilites and amplify inequalities. These attributes put cities in the forefront of efforts to address overarching societal and global challenges.

The Centre for Researching Cities focuses on the three most critical challenges faced by cities across the globe: Inequality and Inclusion, Digitalization, and Sustainability and Resilience. Each challenge is examined through three cross-cutting themes: Defining and Experiencing Cities, Constructing and Designing Cities, and Governing and Managing Cities. The Centre brings together a diverse network of researchers working on a range of projects.
