City Research Insights is a policy brief series that translates academic research into impactful solutions. The School of Cities seeks to leverage our extraordinary community of urbanists and urban-oriented researchers to create a rich, multidisciplinary community of urban faculty, researchers, and students across disciplines and perspectives. In addition to facilitating interdisciplinary research projects, partnerships, and funding opportunities, we provide a hub for urban-focused interdisciplinary and collaborative learning.
