Our research is interdisciplinary, working across the social, natural and engineering sciences.

We aim to foster just urban and regional transformations that enable humanity to thrive within a safe ecological operating space. We are committed to comprehensive sustainability management for all our activities. We set great value on training young researchers and supporting academic careers.
