Our Story
Urban Studies Lab is a Bangkok-based, private research institute and consultancy that was founded in 2018 by a group of urban practitioners and academics from some of Thailand’s top higher education institutions.
USL draws on its broad range of experience and expertise in the fields of urban planning & development, architecture & design, community engagement, project management, communications, and the environmental and social sciences,
to offer a unique and holistic approach to urban studies and consulting.
We are a young, passionate, and progressive organization, and proud Stewards of the Ford Resource and Engagement Center (FREC) located in
the historic neighborhood of Nang Loeng.
Our Approach
The nearly limitless permutations of all things related to people, places, products, and processes create what we call unique city perspectives. Urban Studies Lab exists to help navigate these perspectives and find, test and deliver integrated solutions to urban challenges.
We subscribe to the Urban Living Lab model. We view USL clients and projects as part of an ecosystem that should be supported by five entities, all working together to make collective impact. These are Locals, Corporate, Government, NGOs, and Academics. We invite these to become partners and work on appropriate research, analysis and design tasks based on the expertise needed to meet project goals. USL then utilizes thoughtful and engaging communication methods to build shared understanding and inspire action that enriches the lives of the people we work with.
