Coop­er­a­tion

We explore com­mu­nity-based par­tic­i­pa­tion, inclu­sive urban devel­op­ment, and sus­tain­able urban futures through aca­d­e­mic exchange, research stays, teach­ing for­mats, and pub­lic engage­ment between Ger­many and part­ner insti­tu­tions in the MENA region.

The web­site is up and run­ning, brand­ing has been approved and the design is implemented.

The next steps are:

  1. Incor­po­rat­ing of the ini­tial infor­ma­tion into this website
  2. describe the ideas and scope of the project more detailed, name the act­ing aca­d­e­mics and their specialisation
  3. pro­vide con­tin­u­ous infor­ma­tion about project work on this website

Let’s fin­ish this!

This project promotes academic collaboration that explores the connection between citizen-centered participation in urban planning and the overarching ideals of democracy and (social) sustainability. The main objective is to encourage, strengthen, and sustain the dialogue between German universities and their partners in the MENA region, to promote intercultural and contextual understanding, and at the same time to improve the quality of teaching and research.
