Scope of activities:

The main areas of interest and research directions belong to the field of contemporary urban planning theory and practice: 

  • Sustainable development and climate resilience of cities 
  • Urban form studies, urban morphology
  • Rehabilitation and revitalization of urban structures
  • Strategic and participatory planning 
  • Social and cultural issues in urban planning
  • Smart cities, GIS

Present activities:

We develop design proposals for the transformation of urban areas at various scales and scopes, starting from regional planning to urban detail. We research the form of urban structures and diverse conditions of their transformations - environmental, cultural, social. We deal with the quality of life and adaptation of cities to changing climatic conditions. We benchmark revitalisation processes to identify effective strategic transformation processes. We investigate the applicability of computer techniques to spatial planning.

 

Future activities:

We aim to continue and further deepen research in areas already undertaken. We plan to focus on developing methods for climate change and resilience planning. The key themes include participatory planning approach, systems theory, complexity studies and GIS modelling.
