Urban Center for Computation and Data

The Urban Center for Computation and Data (UrbanCCD) brings together University of Chicago faculty; partner university faculty; Argonne Scientists; industry heads; and local, national, and international municipality leaders to leverage the increasing complexity, diversity, and volume of urban data sources.  UrbanCCD enables practical research into understanding cities and the impact of rapid urban growth and change on the natural environment, the built infrastructure, and the social and economic health of neighborhoods.  The Center works on utilizing advanced computation and data analysis resources and methodologies to develop new capabilities and tools to provide a coherent, publicly accessible data analysis platform for research and policy evaluation and development.
