都市研究所

大华盛顿地区

The 都市研究所 is an interdisciplinary center for research, service, and public programming with a focus on issues of significance to San José and the greater 旧金山湾区. Our mission is to connect 菠菜网lol正规平台 students, faculty, and staff with collaborators off campus and with our wider region. 而我们的许多人 most vexing urban problems are metropolitan in nature, they are often left unresolved due to the lack of appropriate governmental machinery to deal with metropolitan issues. The 都市研究所 was created to address these problems by facilitating the exchange of knowledge, expertise, and general spirit of cooperation among urbanists at San José State University and between 菠菜网lol正规平台 and its surrounding metropolitan community.

The 都市研究所 engages in the issues facing our region through hosting powerful public events, often in collaboration with other institutions and 社区团体. It also helps facilitate the research of a diverse group of urban scholars from across the university and beyond through the 城市 Studies Working Group. And, as an organized research unit of 菠菜网lol正规平台, the IMS is proud to support the considerable externally funded research and community service projects of its principals.
