Welcome

Brian Coffey, Ph.D. "We seek to instill in students an understanding of and appreciation for the complexity and diversity of the urban environment and urban trends across the globe. A concern for social justice and the quality of life in cities are cornerstones of UWT's Urban Studies program. Located on the Pacific Rim, we also are committed to fostering a global perspective among our students."

—Brian Coffey, Ph.D.
Director and Professor

News and Events

Waterfront Tacoma
Join us for a day of public deliberation about the city's shoreline. What are the key elements of the new Shoreline Master Program update? How will it affect future waterfront development? Who and what are we planning for on the waterfront? Can we cope with environmental degradation, while supporting economic and social health? Have we invested enough in public access to the water? And how do citizens get involved in waterfront planning?
Hear from local scholars and practitioners. Talk with UWT student-researchers . . . and add your own voice to the mix.
