THE NYU MARRON INSTITUTE CONDUCTS INNOVATIVE APPLIED RESEARCH, WORKING WITH CITIES TO TAKE ON CRITICAL CHALLENGES OF URBAN LIVING.
Cities are central to economic development and the entrepreneurial and technological advances that improve the human condition. But urban density has a downside: it can exacerbate pollution, overburden infrastructure and public services, and increase the potential for crime and violence. We are championing a new model of academic research to address these challenges and improve the opportunities available to the billions of urban residents around the world.Learn morePrograms
