Research & Assessment Services
At AZHJ, our research team is comprised of urban specialists, policy analysts, and development practitioners dedicated to delivering rigorous, data-driven, and user-centred insights that shape equitable and sustainable urban futures.
We specialise in comprehensive urban research, covering demographic analysis, spatial justice, policy evaluation, globalisation trends, environmental sociology, public space design, and urban economies. Using advanced quantitative and qualitative methodologies, including GIS, remote sensing, big data analytics, and ethnographic studies, we generate data-driven insights to inform equitable urban development.
Partnering with leading academic institutions, international organisations, and policy stakeholders, we explore critical urban challenges in the MENA region, such as migration dynamics, resource distribution, climate resilience, and economic disparities. Our work is recognised by global institutions like FES and UNDP committed to fostering inclusive and sustainable cities.
Innovative Urban Research Approaches
We employ cutting-edge methodologies, including GIS mapping, big data analytics, remote sensing, and ethnographic studies, to analyse urban trends, inequalities, and policy impacts.
Academic & Institutional Collaborations
Partnering with leading universities and global organisations, we contribute to research on displacement, climate justice, labour markets, and urban governance, ensuring evidence-based policy recommendations.
Human-Centered Urban Studies
Our research prioritises community engagement and participatory action research, ensuring that our findings contribute to inclusive and equitable urban development.
Tackling Complex Urban Challenges
We specialise in cross-disciplinary research, addressing spatial justice, environmental sustainability, and economic disparities through comparative case studies and data-driven solutions.
Rigorous Policy & Impact Evaluation
We utilise quantitative and qualitative frameworks, such as scenario planning, statistical modelling, and discourse analysis, to assess the effectiveness of urban policies, governance structures, and socioeconomic programs.
Equity, Sustainability, & Inclusive Growth
We integrate climate resilience, gender equity, and sustainable development goals (SDGs) into our studies, shaping transformative urban policies and development strategies.
