"Nothing in a city is accidental; everything is the result of decisions made by someone" -Kevin Lynch

Welcome to the Policy Design & Urban Management Lab for City Competitiveness at Incheon National University

Cities are shaped by both design decisions and policy choices. Our lab brings these two worlds together — integrating urban design with public administration and policy to advance research on behavioral service design, community-driven regeneration, capacity biulding for public officials, and policymaking for sustainable, citizen-centered urban futures.
