Urban Research in small and medium sized urbanities (URBinN)

The multidisciplinary research group URBinN has a thematic focus on urbanization, urban and regional planning and sustainable development of small and medium sized urbanities in a global perspective with an initial focus on Nordic remote areas. The motive for this interest is the somewhat under-researched area of social, spatial, historical and economic processes related to the origin, functioning and planning of smaller urbanities in general. It is based on a long-running seminar series at Nord University focusing on current urban development in a historic perspective mainly starting with the industrial revolution up until today.
