Urban Studies encompasses the study of many facets of cities, including historical development, architecture, design, and future planning.  In this transdisciplinary field, specific areas of particular interest to different students - such as affordable housing, the environment, or transportation - can be explored in detail in each unique mentorship.  Final projects in urban studies mentorships often involve writing policy proposals or research papers with the potential to make powerful suggestions for future decision makers.
