Great places are built on great ideas, and great ideas come from great people.

Here at the Centre, we are creating better cities and communities through innovative research, impactful student experiences, and collaborative partnerships with academics, NGOs, government, and industry. Utilizing the expertise within the School of Business and directing it towards the city-building space, we strive to be a global leader in city-building research and education, recognized for creating great urban places for everyone. 

The world is searching for new ideas, but it requires visionaries, investors, knowledge-seekers and connectors to help create the places of tomorrow. That’s where you come in. The Centre for Cities and Communities (CCC) takes our accomplishments and our experiences — our fundamental foundation of learning — and uses this insight to set a new course for a more vibrant, more accepting, more responsible, more efficient, and more livable world for all of us. This is where the CCC was born. Of the idea that together we can create a better future.
