Cluster for Research in Architecture & Urbanism of Cities in the Global South (CRAUCGS)Our mission is to research architectural and urban transformations, investigate societal and environmental challenges and opportunities, and interrogate the multitude of influences that characterise the global south. The Cluster for Research in Architecture and Urbanism of Cities in the Global South (CRAUCGS) at the University of Strathclyde includes research expertise in areas that encompass knowledge economy and sustainable urban qualities, socio-spatial practice of migrant and minority communities, lifestyle trends and housing transformations, cultural identity and image making, urban traditions and user-centred assessment, and architectural design pedagogy. Our goal is to develop quality research and to maximise impact through dissemination, research-led teaching, while influencing policy and decision-making.We strive to respond to critical questions, central to the global south, on urban growth, continuity and fragmentation; sustainable urban qualities; regenerating historic cities; the quality of urban life, health and liveability; architectural identity and multiple modernities; and multiculturalism.To do research at CRAUCGS contact:Prof A.
