The Centre for Urban and Community Studies (CUCS), established in 1964, promotes and disseminates multidisciplinary research and policy analysis on urban issues.
The Centre's activities contribute to scholarship on questions relating to the social, economic and physical well-being of people who live and work in urban areas large and small, in Canada and around the world.
 During 2008-2009, CUCS will be incorporated into the University of Toronto's new Cities Centre. It will become the core of the research division of the new centre and the director of CUCS will become the Associate Director for Research. When the Cities Centre is fully established the two units will be formally merged.
