The Centre for Urban
and Community Studies (CUCS) was established in 1964 to promote and
disseminate multidisciplinary research and policy analysis on urban
issues.
The Centre's
activities contributed 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 was incorporated into the University of Toronto's
new Cities Centre. It has become the core of the research division of
the new centre and the director of CUCS has become the Associate
Director for Research.

longer being updated. For current urban research initiatives at the
