Connecting people and ideas for transformative urban futures. The Centre for Urban Research is a dynamic hub for interdisciplinary urban research. Through its research, the Centre is directly responding to the globally important need to shape cities that are environmentally, socially and economically sustainable. We are strongly committed to interdisciplinary research, with staff expertise in urban planning, public policy geography, economics, environmental sciences, spatial analysis, history, and sociology. We provide an intellectual home base for a broad range of urban researchers at RMIT University and continue to successfully build strong global connections with universities, industry, not-for-profits, media and government.
