The Institute for Urban Research is a university-wide research centre that brings together all urban research at Malmö University.

The IUR is open to all research within the broad field of urban studies but has a specific focus on seven themes: housing and urban renewal, urban economics, mobilities, urban ecology, migration, social sustainability and smart cities.

UIR will be part of a global network of institutes for urban research funded by the Flemish Research Council.
