ARL Network Activities

The uniqueness of the ARL lies in its close voluntary cooperation between researchers in spatial and planning sciences and practitioners in spatial planning and development.

Through joint, inter-, and transdisciplinary collaboration in working groups and projects, we bring together knowledge from both academia and practice.
