Urban Studies Foundation

The Urban Studies Foundation is a Scottish research charity connected with the Urban Studies Journal. The organization's stated purpose is to provide grant funding for innovative research projects that advance the frontiers of urban knowledge as part of the broader discipline of urban studies.[1] With origins in an academic journal, it is therefore similar to the IJURR Foundation[2] and Antipode Foundation.[3]
