AlpPlan workshop “Advancing Green Infrastructure in the Alpine Region”

In both countries, France and Germany, there is great pressure to change and adapt towards new forms of urbanity and to conceive new strategic approaches with limited public finance and a need for economic efficiency. Not all types of urban areas are equally affected by these issues. The book aims to do justice to this situation, considering in both cases the context of the national urban systems.

Pre-announcement: The Research Report of the ARL "Cities and Metropolises in France and Germany" will be published shortly!

Urban and regional infrastructures regain interdisciplinary interest in course of the ‘infrastructural turn’. Contemporary questions exceed beyond engineering and technology but reach into social, political, economic, and ecological spheres. 

You can participate for free in the workshops on Socially Responsible Research for PostDocs and Docs, being part of the LeNa Shape research project. 

The kick-off workshop took place in the Hochschule für Gesundheit in the City of Bochum, from 19 to 20 September. Find out about the working group's plans for the coming years.
