The Institute for Metropolitan Studies

While many of our most vexing urban problems are metropolitan in nature, they are often left unresolved due to the challenges of regional governance at this scale. The Institute for Metropolitan Studies was created to address these problems by facilitating the exchange of knowledge, expertise, and general spirit of cooperation among urbanists at San José State University and between 菠菜网lol正规平台 and its surrounding metropolitan community.
