The Tulane City Center

The Tulane City Center houses the Tulane School of Architecture’s applied urban research and outreach programs. Programs of the City Center vary over time, but share a focus on improving cities - particularly our home city of New Orleans - through fostering global urban research, the development of flexible and innovative urban strategies, and the provision of environmentally and culturally informed principles to guide the design and revitalization of the contemporary metropolis. An important aspect of our work is to ensure that, where appropriate, our research is activated through design and construction and/or advocacy and education.
