program resources

 

urban studies library

  • Urban Studies has its own library in the office at 130 McNeil Building. In addition to books, the library contains assorted articles as well as planning and policy reports. A database in the library allows visitors to search the collection by keyword. The library has grown through the generous donations of affiliated faculty and students. When you publish your current research, please consider adding it to our collection!
