The section’s research activities and networks are organized along three main lines: Cities in Transition, focusing on environmental quality and health, inclusive cities and public space, the adaptation of urban form, and heritage; Urban Territories which sets the focus on Delta Urbanism, productive landscapes, and urban climate resilience; and Theories and Methods of Urban Design, which is concerned with the development of new design processes and design theory, co-creation, and the use of digital tools and data-driven design.
