Cities and Urban Life
Research in the Cities and Urban Life cluster investigates how cities and urban areas are being transformed at a time of rapid urbanisation, global environmental change, technological advancement, economic and political restructuring, and growing social and economic inequality.
Our research explores the social, cultural and more-than-human diversity of cities, including:
- Changing geographies of housing and home, work and labour
- Mobilities
- Activism
- Urban natures and materialities.
We are committed to progressive social change in cities through theoretical and applied research that informs the work of governments, Non-Government Organisations and social movements, and advances urban justice, care ethics, sustainability, and resilience.
