The Urban Affairs Association is an international professional organization that connects more than a thousand urban scholars, researchers, policy analysts, and practitioners working in public services. Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, it operates within the higher education sector. The association runs an annual conference to advance knowledge about urban places and to catalyze urban research, and it supports ongoing professional development, an urban studies honor society, and two scholarly journals. Its network spans global participants in urban studies and related public service fields. In February 2025, UAA participated in the International Conference on Urban Affairs in Vancouver, where Director Lees was slated to formally accept an award.
