In this seminar we will discuss different perspectives on the urban. Urban researchers from various disciplines report on their current research projects – in the classroom or on a walk in Zurich. Supplemented by text reading, we discuss together the different approaches and perspectives on the urban as a field of research.
The aim of the course is to bring together different perspectives on the urban in a cross-disciplinary seminar. The participants will gain an in-depth overview of the broad field of urban research. They are able to fundamentally understand and classify different research approaches.
On the basis of guest lectures and preparatory text reading, we discuss across disciplines the field of urban research. In addition to lectures, there are also on-site visits.
