Research on Space, Society, and the Built Environment brings together human and environmental factors to understand the relationships between place and society. One of our subfield specialties is urban geography, where research considers the political, economic, and spatial processes underlying poverty and inequality, infrastructure, mobility, and housing. Another strength of this program is in political geography, including state restructuring and technological development, migration and environmental justice, and gendered responses to climate change.
