About CUI

The Center for Urban Infrastructure (CUI), is a brand new interdisciplinary forum that brings an objective, innovative approach to a wide range of emerging policy issues relating to transportation infrastructure, urban development and community design.

CUI considers urban issues at the local, regional and national levels, connecting key experts' insights and capabilities from throughout California and around the United States in search of practical solutions. Among the issues addressed by CUI are transportation, land use, water, energy, urban design, housing and the relationships between urban centers and the use and integration of natural resources.

Drawing on the resources of the University of California with participating faculty, students and researchers, CUI looks at policy concerns from every angle.  CUI serves as a conduit joining the theoretical work of academia to the practical insights of policy makers, government manager, economists, lawyers, industry leaders and technologists, and applies results to specific policy concerns and project analyses.
