Our Department has two research programs:

The Community Outreach Partnership Program (COPP) is a response to the increasingly challenging growth management and community development issues facing Florida communities and to the emerging concepts of sustainable development, smart growth and livable communities.

The Land Use and Transportation Modeling Research Program (LUTMRP) is a basic and applied research facility in the University of Florida, Department of Urban and Regional Planning, College of Design, Construction and Planning. The Program is designed to advance the state-of-the-art of transportation/land use modeling technology for shaping a new generation of transportation and urban policies that will build cohesive, livable, and economically viable communities.
