About Us
The Urban Studies Working Group is comprised of scientists from different spatial science disciplines and fields. We are united by our joint work on urban geographic issues and our motivation to engage in co-creative exchanges with a diverse landscape of actors. In addition to teaching at the University of Vienna, the Group’s tasks include the theory-based development of inter- and transdisciplinary questions and solutions.
