The Urban Justice & Governance Lab (UJGL) is a research center dedicated to advancing equity in cities. At UJGL, we believe cities should be more than just places to live; they should be spaces where justice, equity, and opportunity thrive. Our work is driven by a commitment to transforming urban centers through solutions-based research, effective policy recommendations, and deep community engagement.

We tackle systemic inequities head-on, advancing economic mobility, reducing poverty, and creating sustainable solutions for underserved communities. Through collaboration with local residents, leaders, policymakers, and activists, we strive to build truly just, and sustainable cities.

Explore our research, discover policy insights, and join a movement shaping cities into beacons of equity and justice.

Together, we can create urban spaces where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
