The Cascadia Urban Analytics Cooperative (CUAC) has released a comprehensive program report detailing collaborative research and training activities between the University of Washington (UW) and the University of British Columbia (UBC) over the last three years. CUAC supports interdisciplinary studies of large urban data sets that use the latest data science techniques to address policy-relevant issues affecting the Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland metropolitan areas.

The report describes activities since CUAC was established in February 2017 with a $1 million grant from Microsoft, through January 2020. The report covers five research areas and the Data Science for Social Good (DSSG) student internship programs. CUAC was co-founded by Urban@UW and is directed by Bill Howe, Associate Professor in the UW Information School, and Jonathan Fink, Visiting Professor of Urban Analytics at UBC.
