The Urban Studies, Transport and Architectural Space pathway undertakes methodologically innovative, cross-disciplinary research into cities, the built environment and complex urban socio-spatial phenomena. The pathway is comprised of four Departments and Centres at UCL: the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA), the Urban Laboratory, the Space Syntax Laboratory and Transport@UCL. It has six intersecting main areas of activity that directs its research:
- Housing and spatial justice
- Transport and mobility
- Ecology, health and metabolism
- Change and crisis
- Imagination, design and architectural space
- Data and places
This pathway equips students with a rich tool set for interdisciplinary analysis of social and spatial issues, drawing on innovative methodological expertise across quantitative and qualitative domains.
+3 and 1+3 studentships are available, for both full and part-time students. Potential PhD students should liaise first with the following members of staff, dependent on the primary supervisor and/or MSc programme being applied to:
