Sabine Knierbein

Since December 2008 Sabine Knierbein is in charge of the scientific development, the structural establishment and management and the further consolidation of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Urban Culture and Public Space.  Sabine is an Associate Professor for Urban Culture and Public Space at the Faculty of Architecture and Planning,  TU Wien in Austria since 2016. Between 2008 and 2018 the centre was rooted as an Arbeitsbereich of the Department of Spatial Planning (E280.A1), while it operated within the Future.Lab of the Faculty for Architecture and Planning between 2019 and 2023 (E285-02). Since 1st January 2024, the centre has become fully integrated as the new 9th research unit within the Institute of Spatial Planning (E280-09). As Head of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Urban Culture and Public Space, and supported by an engaged team, Sabine realizes further activities such as academic networking, acquiring third party funding and publishing, editing and reviewing scientific publications and projects on an international scale. In spring 2020, Knierbein was appointed Visiting Professor for Urban Political Geography at the Social Geography Lab (LAGeS, www.lages.eu) at the Department of History, Archeology, Geography, Arts and Performance (SAGAS) of the University of Florence in Italy, where she has been affiliated as a guest researcher in 2021. In 2022, she was a Visiting Fellow at the Centre of Urban Design at Hafen City University Hamburg in Germany, while in 2023 she realized a Guest Research Stay at the Institute for Sociology and Cultural Organisation at the Leuphana Universität in Lüneburg, Germany. Based on her habilitation treatise entitled “Critique of Everyday Life in the 21st Century. Lived Space and Capitalist Urbanization”, TU Wien established a new content-related venia in “Urban Studies ⁄ Internationale Urbanistik” in 2021. As alumna, Sabine also serves as a Vertrauensdozentin of the Studienstiftungs des dt. Volkes (German Academic Scholarship Foundation).
