UCL Urban Laboratory, established in 2005, is a university wide initiative to bring together the best urban teaching and research at UCL. We wish to encourage thinking and research that is critical, independent and interdisciplinary. Our activities build on the full spectrum of work at UCL across the arts and sciences ranging from civil engineering to film studies, from urban history to the latest developments in architectural design.
