URRC Bangkok is an academic collaboration and exchange program between Osaka Metropolitan University, Japan (formerly Osaka City University prior to 2022) and Chulalongkorn University’s Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, Thailand that focuses on topics related to urban culture in the areas of artistic expression, management, cultural preservation, documentation, and education. When the Urban Resilience Research Center was founded in 2001 it was originally named The Urban Culture Research Center (UCRC) and later changed to the Urban Research Plaza (URP) in 2006. URRC is under the same co-directorship of Dr. Shin Nakagawa, Japan and Dr. Bussakorn Binson, Thailand since its inception.

Presentations tied to either the academic or wide vernacular interpretation of urban culture and the arts as a tool promoting community and individual well-being, health, and diversity are welcome.
