The Research Centre for Urban Studies (RCUS), formerly The Urban Institute, brings together a group of geographers, urban planners and designers, architects, economists, and sociologists. We aim to generate and share through research and teaching knowledge that contributes to creating sustainable, resilient and just cities and communities.
