The Urbanization and Global Environmental Change (UGEC) Project [1] is a research coordination programme initiated by the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP). The UGEC project begun operations in 2006 through its International Project Office at Arizona State University. It will be phased out after the end of its 10 year time horizon in 2016. The project is funded through its 10 year duration by the U.S. National Science Foundation.

According to its Science Plan, the project aims to provide a better understanding of the interactions and feedbacks between global environmental change and urbanization at the local, regional, and global scales.
