Our Work

We combine analysis with action. In this method, research is used to generate knowledge and insights used to solve real life problems.
We turn underdeveloped neighborhoods into healthy, thriving and joyful communities
What We Do?
What Drives Our Work?
We aim to build a just world—one where Black people and communities of color live in dignity, control their own destinies, and realize their full human potential. In this free and liberated society, inclusion, equity, and justice—social, racial, economic, cultural, and political—will serve as the foundation. At the heart of this vision is participatory democracy, where people actively shape the decisions that affect their lives and communities.
At the UB Center for Urban Studies, we seek to understand the world so that we can change it.
