Harvard Undergraduate
Urban Sustainability Lab
The hub for urban studies at Harvard College.
At HUUSL, we provide undergraduates with immediate ways to engage with urban issues, together imagining a more sustainable, livable, and equitable future for our cities. We:
Organize working groups by partnering with organizations addressing specific campus, local, and national urban projects.
Curate student writing on urban issues in our bulletin.
Publish a weekly newsletter with events, news, and opportunities in Cambridge and beyond.
Host a comp, speaker events, and educational workshops throughout the year.
Join us in our mission to increase undergraduate exposure to urbanism, discuss opportunities to get involved with urban sustainability, and build community. Check out our bulletin, Instagram, and upcoming calendar below.
HUUSL is supported by the Harvard Mellon Urban Initiative.
