City Collaboratory

Our aim: Collaborating on the urban in switzerland and beyond

The City Collaboratory works to render visible the diversity of urban research in Switzerland – disciplinary, institutional, professional, racial, gender, linguistic, and beyond. This is a platform that aims to connect people and debates to foster a productive and critical dialogue on urban transformations. Rooted in Urban Studies, the Collaboratory is multidisciplinary, including researchers in Geography, Planning, Anthropology, and Sociology who are based at Swiss institutions.
