The Junior Professorship in European Cities and Urban Heritage operates at the interface of urban studies and heritage studies. It focuses on transformation processes in European cities. This comprises research on the built urban structures and their discursive negotiation, on the history of planning ideas and paradigm changes, on policy mobilities and their influence on contemporary urban development, as well as on the socio-spatial, political and economic trends that shaped and continue to shape urban development in the 20th and 21st centuries.
Geographically, the Junior Professorship in European Cities and Urban Heritage focuses on developments in Germany, Austria, and the (post-)socialist countries. Current research topics comprise authoritarian urbanism, housing studies and post-socialist urban developments.
