School of Architecture and the Built EnvironmentDivision of Urban and Regional Studies

ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

Social, economic and ecological factors, together with political processes, form our society. These factors are inherently related in a complex and interlinked way. Planning for the management of this com-plexity therefore calls for multidisciplinary approaches. The Division of Urban and Regional Studies has brought together researchers from the technical as well as the social sciences to study concrete planning issues in theory and in practice, from the local and regional perspectives. Our focus is on actors, processes, strat-egies and the requirements and con-sequences of planning. The Division is engaged in teaching planning at the un-dergraduate and post-graduate levels. A major feature of the Division’s work is cooperation with international partners in academic institutions and practitioners in the field of planning.

Division of Urban and Regional Studies

Our activities are currently concentrated in the following areas:

• Planning for urban and regional infrastruc-ture

• Planning and decision making processes

• Housing, social conditions and economic development

• Governance and institutional capacity

• Culture, heritage management and city marketing

• Urban design, retail and services
