- Title
THE BUREAU OF URBAN RESEARCH.
- Abstract
Princeton, New Jersey-based Princeton University established what may actually have been the first university related interdisciplinary center for urban studies. In 1941 the idea of combining into one group representatives of a University's School of Architecture, School of Engineering, Department of politics, and Department of Economics and Sociology was early recognition of the emerging common interest of these and other disciplines in the rapidly urbanizing world. Succeeding events confirmed the wisdom of the pioneering action in forming the Bureau of Urban Research. The objectives of the Bureau have been to provide a mechanism for the coordination and integration of information and research in fields pertaining to urban studies and urban planning and also to contribute, through creative research, to the development of a greater knowledge of the relationships among the different activities which together form the city, and to a further understanding of urban planning.
