More than half of all people in the world now live in cities. As cities keep growing, many important challenges in society are happening in urban areas first. Cities are the places where we can work towards a fairer and more sustainable future – or fail to do so.

Create better cities for everyone

The Centre for Urban Studies helps people from different backgrounds work together. Researchers from different fields, experts from other countries, and people outside the university. These collaborations are needed to better understand urban problems and to help create better cities for everyone.

The Centre for Urban Studies is part of the AISSR, the Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research of the University of Amsterdam.
