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 cutting-edge, solutions-based research, policy innovation, and deep community engagement.

We tackle systemic inequities head-on, working to advance economic mobility, reduce poverty, and create sustainable solutions for marginalized communities. Through collaboration with local leaders, policymakers, and activists, we strive to build truly inclusive, just, and resilient 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.
