About LSE Cities Programme

The LSE Cities Programme, associated with the London School of Economics, is dedicated to understanding urban society and urban change, focusing on the interplay between the social and spatial dimensions of city life. Design is explored as both a research area and a practice that molds urban spaces, addresses urban challenges, and unlocks possibilities for social transformation and urban justice. The program provides an innovative environment for critical engagement and creative learning, examining the relationships between city design and the political, economic, and cultural organization of cities. LSE Cities investigates how complex urban systems respond to pressures of growth, change, and globalization, through infrastructures of design and governance that complement social equity and environmental sustainability. The program offers MSc and PhD degrees through the Department of Sociology. By extending LSE's century-long commitment to urban understanding, LSE Cities aims to educate and train new generations of researchers and executives.
