Research Areas
With this call, the International Doctorate Programme “European Urban Studies” is concentrating on research projects within one of the following research areas:

- Housing Policy and Urban Development
At the focus of this research area is social housing provision and how it is developing in the context of a transformation to the welfare state and urban development. Research projects will be considered which look at the functional, institutional and urban-spatial transformation of social housing planning.

- Housing Forms and Social Diversity
Research should focus both on particular social groups’ specific needs with respect to housing forms, as well as on inquiries into innovative housing concepts.

- Urban Landscape Living
Urban landscapes are explored as complex, socioeconomic and ecological patterns of relations. This research focus aims to find future-oriented and landscape-related housing and forms of living in the context of current urban landscapes, as well as sustainable forms of urban development and city-regional development based in use of open space and landscapes.

- Housing, urban renewal and heritage
This research area focuses on contemporary urban redevelopment projects with a focus on housing. On the one hand this might comprise an analysis of the socio-spatial and urbanistic, the political and housing policy contexts and effects; on the other hand, questions on how to deal with existing urban structures and on the discursive (re-)negotiation of urban heritage shall be explored.
