Urban and Inner City Studies

Welcome

Welcome to the research guide for Urban and Inner City Studies. The study of cities, urban life and the social issues associated with them is highly interdisciplinary, so this particular Research Guide will not be able to address all of these possible topics and approaches. Please consider also consulting other guides, such as those for criminal justice, conflict resolution, disability studies, economics, environmental studies, Indigenous Studies, political science, psychology, sociology, and women's and gender studies
