There are deep connections between education and cultural formation. This relationship is constantly changing and Cardus, through research and networking activities, identifies the areas in this landscape that merit further attention in our efforts to contribute to a more robust social architecture.

Cities

In January 2010 Foreign Affairs called urbanization one of the four mega-trends that will change the world. 2010 marked the first time in history where a majority of the world's people lived in cities. Cardus is at work discerning the complexity and diversity of our urban social spaces, proposing designs for tomorrow's cities hinged on adaption, integration and functional pluralism.

Work and Economics

What we believe and how we work are more connected than we often think. At Cardus we think we’re onto something – a way of connecting belief and behaviour in work and economics – a way of organizing our understanding of work and economics in North America that can contribute to the common good.

What are research projects?

Cardus is a public policy think tank, based in North America. Our mandate is not just to study and learn, but to go somewhere with the best available research.
