Urban Agency III
Towards a sustainable integration of disciplines in urban studies. Building on in-depth interdisciplinary research on the relationship between urban theory and urban history (see the USI FWO-WOG ‘Urban Agency II: The Historical Fabrication of the City as an Object of Study’) the project Urban Agency III will examine the relationship between the institutional embedding of urban studies and the orientation, nature and performativity of the research involved. The program will:
chart the differences between urban studies institutes and analyze the origins thereof
examine the consequences of the institutional factors
identify good practices and develop scientific propositions and recommendations for policy makers
