- We discuss and share interdisciplinary urban governance research - We initiate new projects on governance - We reflect on the practice of governance - We support early-career governance researchers

At UGoveRN, our mission is to drive innovation and change by supporting and creating pioneering urban governance research. Our research centers around four research themes (urban planning, property markets, spatial regulation, and law and policy), and our interdisciplinary research approach combines diverse fields such as urban planning, public administration, law, and real estate.

Our interdisciplinary perspective and close links to practice ensure that we deliver not only academic excellence but also practical, hands-on advice to those working in the field. We understand that today’s cities and regions require a new approach to governance, and we are dedicated to being at the forefront of this change.
