Our research and teaching activities focus on spatial development processes on a local, regional and international scale. We are particularly interested in understanding transformation processes and in developing recommendations for sustainable transitions. The interface of spatial research and more applied spatial planning perspectives is a fertile ground for timely research endeavors and policy recommendations derived thereof.

Conciliating development and sustainability
We explore urban development patterns, architecture and urban regeneration, underlying governance mechanisms, migration issues, cross-border cooperation, economic restructuring processes and policy coherence for sustainable development.
How do urban spaces develop and how can architecture and spatial planning steer this process in order to make our cities livable and sustainable? How does location, access to green spaces and accessibility to public transport influence property prices? What are the socio-economic and spatial implications of international migration? We conduct research from an interdisciplinary perspective to find answers to these and other questions. Furthermore, digital methods of data gathering and analysis as well as the development of digital tools for visualisation play an increasing role for our department.
