Annually, NYU's Urban Initiative holds an Urban Research Day wherein faculty come together to make short presentations and discuss their most recent urban research in groups. This year, we move the convening to an online space: faculty researchers grouped by categories have shared short video clips about their research and the impact it has. Their fellow group members have commented and we now share all the research with the larger community.

Presentations
