Our work advances the understanding of cities focusing on people, places, policies and technologies. We research the major urban challenges of city equity, housing, productivity, sustainability, resilience, governance and renewal. We do this in partnership with governments, industry, not for profit organisations and communities.Since its establishment in 2005, City Futures has provided a training ground for the next generation of urban thinkers, city shapers, and urban scientists. We provide ethical, evidence-based inputs to contemporary urban policy debates and the planning of 21st Century cities. With a vision to create a better and more sustainable future, the Centre is committed to the United Nation's New Urban Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals.
