Urban Humanities Initiative

Urban Humanities Initiative UCLA's Urban Humanities Initiative is a interdisciplinary program integrating interpretive approache

As the world grows increasingly urban, so grows the imperative to more fully comprehend the space of our collective life. Nowhere is this more urgent than in the context of intensely interactive, rapidly expanding cities of the Pacific Rim. The Urban Humanities Initiative offers an emerging paradigm to explore the lived spaces of dynamic proximities, cultural hybridities, and networked interconnec

tions. The complexity of such spaces calls for new intellectual and practical alliances between environmental design and the humanities and for the advanced tools that each brings to bear on its objects of investigation. Urban Humanities integrates the interpretive, historical approaches of the humanities with the material, projective practices of design, to document, elucidate, and transform the cultural object we call the city.
