Center for Urban Studies (CUS) is a research center focused on urban issues such as city planning, regional development, transportation, poverty, housing, and environmental sustainability in urban areas. Its primary aim is to provide data, analysis, and policy recommendations to support governments, academics, and communities in addressing urban challenges.

Typically, CUS operates under the auspices of a university or research institution and involves a range of disciplines, including sociology, architecture, urban and regional planning, economics, and environmental studies
