Partnerships
Intra-institutional collaboration
Our activities, approaches and aims synergise with the UCL Grand Challenges of Sustainable Cities, Intercultural Interaction, Global Health, Human Wellbeing.
Urban Laboratory Steering Committee members participate in the Executive Group of the Grand Challenge of Sustainable Cities and recently contributed to the London 2062 project, gathering evidence about the forces and factors that shape London, identifying decision points, and debating how the city will change over the five decades between London 2012 and London 2062.
We also work closely with the UCL Environment Institute, in particular around its theme of ‘cultures of sustainability’.
Our work compliments the strategies of a wide range of other urban-focused UCL departments, institutes and initiatives. To date, our activities are focused primarily in four UCL faculties that provide financial, logistical and academic support our work:
UCL Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment
UCL Faculty of Social and Historical Sciences
UCL Faculty of Engineering Sciences
UCL Faculty of Arts and Humanities
