Library: Overview
The IUS library holds thousands of books and research papers covering a wide range of topics in urban studies, including geography, economics, housing, planning, sociology, urban design and social policy. The collection includes monographs, planning documents, government documents, periodicals, newsletters, reference works, grey literature, reports, statistics, and pamphlet files.
