Our research
Find out more about the Centre for Urban Transitions’ research across a range of critical issues in social science, approached through local, national and global lenses.
Our research addresses some of Australia's most significant social, economic and environmental problems. We contribute with actionable knowledge about cities and how they transform.
Actionable knowledge places emphasis on solution-oriented outcomes (rather than ideal outcomes), collaborative working and associated co-design, co-production, co-creation and co-management concepts. With actionable knowledge as a research impact model, we move research from understanding and giving meaning to be transforming for science, society and policy.
