The Centre for Urban Informatics, Technology and Policy (CITY) at LUMS is an interdisciplinary research center exploring the intersection of technology, infrastructure, and inclusive urban development. Run by a team of dedicated faculty and researchers, CITY works to generate data-driven insights and innovative policy thinking to help shape equitable cities.

Over the years, CITY has worked across diverse domains examining the dynamics of urban development and growth, such as how regulatory regimes shape the evolution of land and housing; probing issues of urban mobility, including commuter patterns, access disparities, and the lived experience of movement; and delving into the urban environment and public health, where questions of sanitation, climate vulnerability, and infrastructural resilience intersect. Details about CITY research projects can be seen here. 

Now, CITY presents The CITY Atlas!

A beautifully designed visual chronicle of its past three years of research, fieldwork, and community engagement. The Atlas brings together project highlights, data narratives, and reflections that chart CITY’s efforts to make cities more inclusive, informed, and humane.
