About us
The present project is a collaborative endeavour designed by four co-applicants and six partners based in different Swiss institutions.
This collaborative research structure was chosen because it allows: the collaborative production of original fundamental knowledge on crucial contemporary urban issues that cannot be tackled by a single institution; the development of theoretically and methodologically concerted research in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH), where it happens too seldom; and the strengthening of the Swiss research community in urban studies.
