Urban Development and Mobility

Innovatively co-creating tomorrow’s sustainable geospatial environments

Driving Sustainable Urban Transitions

The Urban Development and Mobility Department focuses on interdisciplinary urban development research, collaborating with societal actors to drive social, environmental and economic urban transitions. We explore how individuals, households, companies and public authorities can shape smarter, more inclusive cities, addressing key challenges in housing, mobility, health and cross-border governance. By using data-driven insights and participatory approaches, we inform policies and contribute to scalable solutions that tackle the pressing issues of today’s rapidly evolving urban environments.

Our mission is to advance scientifically-robust and relevant societal knowledge that will serve sustainable urban change for all.
