The Chair of Urban Design at Technische Universität Berlin focuses on socially and climate-conscious urban design, exploring the interplay between urban spaces, ecology, and community engagement. Through various research design projects, the chair investigates contemporary modes of urban governance and the impact of rapid urbanization, addressing challenges related to finite resources and socio-political conflicts. The research emphasizes cooperative community-based design processes, advocating for top-down and bottom-up planning approaches that integrate civil society into urban planning development. By collaborating with universities, practitioners, and municipalities, the chair aims to enhance expertise in urban design and promote sustainable practices. The research also delves into the roles of rivers as socio-ecological entities and employs various cartographic and archival methods to understand and propose urban interventions.
