We bring together all urban research at Malmö University and engage with questions, researchers, and stakeholders internationally to co-create with society and establish “the people’s urban studies.”

Even more pictures from our trip to Athens, where we had the chance to engage with the city from eras that spanned ancient to modern and discuss our plans for continued collaboration and co-creation with society. The conversations started there, but they will continue in Malmö!
