Mission

URBANlab is an institutional research and design collective composed of CCA faculty, students and professionals interested in advanced research and design that investigates the challenges and potentials of the urban environment in the 21st century. URBANlab supports the urban curriculum with multi-scaled projects on cities and landscapes that involve external local and global cooperative networks of professionals, community organizations, government agencies, and academic institutions. Global international research on cities and their environs will also be supported by an expanded field of travel programs and studios focused on the issues facing post-industrial world cities.
