Research Clusters
Introduction
GCI's Research Focus Areas
GCI’s mandate is to support and produce engaged urban research that is developed in partnership with multiple stakeholders across disciplines, sectors, and locales. GCI’s research agenda is a collective product, reflective of shared priorities and key directives as identified through ongoing dialogue with our partners.
Our research agenda is divided into four key research clusters that bring together the work of researchers across UIC’s campus and other universities, along with the work of community stakeholders and other advocates and interested organizations. The separate focus areas inform conversations, produce debates, and influence public dialogue around the critical question for our future: “What can cities and regions do to make themselves into great places?”
The clusters bring together the work of researchers across UIC’s campus and other universities, along with the work of community stakeholders and other advocates and interested organizations.
