Urban Age

Urban Age is a research programme started in 2005.[1] It is led by LSE Cities with support from Deutsche Bank’s Alfred Herrhausen Society into the relationship between the shape and society of cities.[2] Research includes comparing urbanisation in already urbanised and currently urbanising regions of the world.[3] Urban Age emerged as a product of the research and ideas of LSE Cities' Ricky Burdett, Philipp Rode and Richard Sennett and has since centred around conferences in a range of cities worldwide, as well as accompanying newspapers containing both global data sets and in-depth case studies.[4][5]
