At the core of PURL’s activities is a set of initiatives exploring a variety of issues critical to the Phoenix metropolitan area and typically underrepresented in current urbanist dialog. Through a combination of supported research, coordinated coursework and public programming, including lectures, symposia, exhibitions and publications, PURL brings together different academic units within the university and bridges the university and the public spheres. Our goal is to generate innovative solutions that have true impact on the quality of our urban environment.
