In the Research Area "Strategic Issues and Perspectives" (FB S) we address the sustainable development of cities and regions in the national and international context, examining theoretical and methodological requirements and contributing to the processing of new issues for our research programme.

This Research Area thus promotes the integration of research work at the Institute across various fields. The FB S is a platform for cross-sectional, flexible research, primarily addressing current trends and developments in urban and regional development in the international context, thus meeting demands in a rapidly changed field.
