Urban
Research
We prepare incisive analysis to support clear-eyed understanding of places and people.
Our multi-disciplinary team of researchers in the Urban Research Unit contribute to all strands of our work by providing considered and thorough intelligence. Our research spans a diverse range of projects using observation, mapping, engagement, surveys, audits and data analysis.
We have explored many topics, and have developed particular expertise relating to social value, high streets, local economies, industry and culture.
