Team

The Centre is currently organized within the platform for inter- and transdisciplinary research and teaching in urban and spatial development located at the Faculty of Architecture and Spatial Planning, Institute of Spatial Planning

Our Centre’s core team currently consists of a University-, a Teaching- and Student Assistant. We strive to be a horizontally structured institution. On a semester-by-semester basis, our team is joined by external faculty who have local urban planning expertise at the intersection of urban life and urban form.

We are the central interface for communication between our Centre’s staff and other organizations in Vienna as well as in other cities. On a European and international level, the core team is responsible for the creation of new academic networks as well as for the consolidation of existing networks. 

Our core team guarantees scientific continuity between the annually changing teams of pre-doc, doc and post-doc researchers. We collaborate with other project partners in preparing research proposals, providing urban design peer review, commentary, and review activities. Furthermore, we consult with academic deans on the inclusion of new course content in architecture and planning curricula.
