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.
