The University of North Carolina at Charlotte has entered a partnership with Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI) to create a new RENCI engagement center on the Charlotte campus focused on forecasting urban growth and its impacts.

The new center will be administered by UNC Charlotte’s Urban Institute and will be developed as a partnership among the Urban Institute, the Center for Applied GIS and the Charlotte Visualization Center. The three campus entities will collaborate on interdisciplinary research that addresses trends in land use and development in the Charlotte area, and the effects of urbanization on natural resources, traffic patterns, urban infrastructure, quality of life and disaster response.
