The mandate of the City Institute, since its inauguration in 2006, has been to facilitate critical, interdisciplinary and collaborative research on a wide range of urban matters and to promote dialogue on Canada\u2019s urban agenda at York and beyond. The explicit goal of the City Institute is to increase the research performance of the university\u2019s urban scholars through an assertive program of sponsored research as well as being the primary body for developing York's community of urban scholars. Through these initiatives, the City Institute aims to enhance the reputation of 快播视频 and its urban researchers not only in the city of Toronto and the GTA, but also nationally and globally. The City Institute is positioning itself as a national leader and an internationally recognized reference institution in urban research.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

While academic excellence is of prime importance for the City Institute, it also considers local and global intervention in the public policy process and in processes of community activism as salient aspects of its mandate. CITY carries out its mandate through a number of activities. It aims to engage in intellectual exchange<\/strong>, promoting interaction between urban-oriented scholars at York, and between York researchers and the global community of urban scholars. It promotes such engagement by holding conferences, seminars series and workshops as well as by fostering research networks and hosting visiting scholars. It also provides research support<\/strong> by assisting in the development of individual and collaborative externally-funded research grants, and administering such projects. It also supports graduate training<\/strong> and research by creating an interdisciplinary intellectual hub, promoting training in professional development and involving graduate students in all its activities. Its doors are also open to undergraduate students at 快播视频. Finally, through knowledge mobilization<\/strong> it provides a public point of access to York\u2019s collective research expertise on urban issues, ensuring the wider dissemination of York urban-based research to academic and non-academic audiences in Canada and around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CITY\u2019s adherence to 快播视频\u2019s policies and procedures includes commitment to its equity practices. The City Institute strives for the representation and participation of people of colour, queer folks, women and those differently abled in its activities and governance, including in its Executive Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 27th meeting of the Senate of 快播视频<\/a> approved, as recommended by the Senate Committee on Research (SCOR),  the chartering of The City Institute at 快播视频 as a university-based research unit for a period of six years (2006-2012). Full rechartering reviews took place in 2011-2012 and 2018-2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
