The interdisciplinary team of the Urban Morphosis Lab (UML) has been engaged in a wide range of academic projects addressing the diverse yet interconnected dimensions of contemporary urban challenges. These include technological developments (such as digital awareness in cities), socio-political transformations (e.g. migration), questions of urban heritage preservation, identity and sense of place (including city imagineering), urban health (air pollution, global pandemics), and urban resilience.

Focusing on these themes within the broader context of rapid urban transformation, the UML team investigates urban processes from an interdisciplinary and international perspective, acting as a bridge between research and practice. Our research objectives are to illuminate the complexity and interdependence of urban transformative processes; to collaborate with international and interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners—particularly alumni of the Mundus Urbano Programme; to provide in-depth, critical, and solution-oriented insights; and to co-produce high-quality scientific publications.
