The Cambodia Urban Database was created to provide researchers and practitioners with a one-stop repository of resources on urban topics in Cambodia. As Cambodia’s urban areas rapidly grow and transform, high-quality research and data on the topic is critical to improving knowledge and policy-making – and so is making that research and data accessible to the public.
This database compiles all kinds of data – from quantitative data to research publications to images – in order to aid research and learning amongst students, researchers, and others interested in the topic; help illuminate the gaps in knowledge; and contribute to building a community of scholarship on Cambodian urban studies.
We hope to actively update and continue expanding this database over time. Please reach out if you would like to share materials for inclusion in the database, or if you would like to contribute to the growth of this valuable resource as a donor, partner, or volunteer.
Cambodia Urban Database was created by the Center for Khmer Studies (CKS). The Center for Khmer Studies (CKS) promotes research, teaching and public service in the social sciences, arts and humanities in Cambodia and the Mekong region.
CKS seeks to:
