Extending the limits of ist own discipline, ISU engages in interdisciplinary joint projects, gaining scientific and data-based knowledge of the complexity of the urban world and redefines the understanding how the structure, design and shape of the built environment is key towards sustainable urbanism.

Urban and Regional Sociology studies questions of living in regard to space. In research and teaching the department focuses on social, political and cultural questions, tendencies and problems of modern and recent urban and regional development.
Our aim is, to analyse and interpret these developments from a historical perspective and in their meaning for urban planning decisions. This requires engaging with methods of analysis of urban and regional development processes and the feedback of insights into social science theories.
