Urban Labs University of Chicago

The UChicago Urban Labs, while physically located in Chicago (the Crime Lab also has a sister office in New York City) believe that evidence generated in collaboration with government partners has the potential to transcend context, informing efforts to improve outcomes in cities not only in Chicago, but in cities across the country and world. The Urban Labs also have carried out projects in other U.S. cities, and in Gujarat and Delhi in India.
