requires.

The network forms a framework for the scientific processing of topics and problem areas that characterize urban and regional developments of the present and future. The aim of the network is to accompany the processes of change scientifically and to promote a corresponding transfer of knowledge from practice to research and vice versa. With this goal in mind, the aim is to initiate cross-university and cross-disciplinary projects and make their results accessible to the scientific and general public.

Particular attention is paid to the goal of socially, economically and ecologically sustainable development.
