CityForm addresses a major research question:

To what extent and in what ways does urban form contribute to sustainability?

CityForm objectives are to:

Determine the relationship between urban form and:
- Environmental sustainability
- Transport
- Social sustainability
- Economic sustainability
Advance theory on sustainable urban form through an integrated programme of multi-disciplinary evidence-based research
Provide guidance of sustainable urban forms which are acceptable to users and appropriate in the future

CityForm is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), grant reference GR/S20529/01.
