An Introduction to CITY
The City Institute at York University (CITY) brings together almost 100 of the university’s urban scholars and hundreds of graduate students from fields and faculties as diverse as planning, architecture, globalization, world cities, education, law, transportation and the arts.

The Institute also plays a vital role in developing Canada’s next generation of leaders and thinkers, with graduate students playing a central role in the life of the Institute and CITY’s researchers have long-standing relationships with community groups, NGOs, Aboriginal nations, and policymakers.
CITY currently houses the Major Collaborative Research Initiative “Global Suburbanisms: Governance, Land and Infrastructure in the 21st Century”. Learn more about other CITY research projects here.
