As cities grow and change, urban studies researchers must answer a difficult question: How can we make urban spaces more liveable? In this program, Mag. Xenia Kopf (PhD Candidate, University of Salzburg and Mozarteum Salzburg, Austria) leads a discussion with Prof. Dr. Sabine Knierbein (TU Wien) and Dr. Jim Morrow (University of Alberta, Canada) about the role of everyday life in urban design and planning. They will also explore how ideas developed in Austria are transforming urban environments; examine the relationship between local issues and global urbanization; explain what resources and tools are available to build more equitable cities; encourage intersectional perspectives in urban research; envision solutions for future challenges.
This discussion is part of the 2021 series of Transatlantic Conversations on "Science, Technology and Innovation for a Sustainable Future," presented by the IES Austrian Studies Program in partnership with the Office of Science and Technology Austria (OSTA), Washington DC, and the Austria Centers of North America.
