Research and
Public Engagement

CRP faculty and students undertake publicly engaged research to inform new modes of planning practice and make change in cities and regions worldwide. Our areas of research and practice prepare the next generation of planners and urbanists to make change today and build a better, more just, and sustainable future for all.

Approaches to Research and Practice


We work closely with community organizations, non-profits, municipalities, and state agencies, as well as private sector companies across the United States and around the world to build partnerships that inform the questions we ask and topics of debates to which we respond.
