Research Projects involve documenting and mapping buildings, neighbourhoods and precincts in the city. Each UDRI project is a balance of archival research, fieldwork and documentation, often leading to institutional collaborations and publication.

While UDRI research studies aim to enrich the vocabulary of young professionals and students, our applied research projects have been designed to address the shortcomings of existing legislation, the insufficiency of civic infrastructure, and the pressing need to recover the city's open spaces and restore its built fabric.

In this way almost every UDRI plan or recommendation has been a response to a significant threat posed to our city. Additionally each solution we have prescribed has been shaped by our assessment of its suitability and viability.
