Research Projects
Welcome to the Center on Climate Change and Urbanism.
The Center on Climate Change and Urbanism (CCU) within the School of Architecture and Built Environment at Tulane University represents the culmination of a several generation’s worth of research and practice to understand how the built environment causes climate change and responds to it. Through research, design investigations, public programming, and university courses and studios, we are here to support students and faculty, as well practitioners, from across the United States, the Caribbean and Latin America. Whether you are an undergraduate student who is interested in exploring how climate change will shape your future career or a seasoned built environment professional, we are here to build bridges around a common dialogue.
"Our goal at CCU is to bridge communities of practice and scholarship to define our role in mitigating and adapting to climate change."
