SLU Urban Futures

SLU Urban Futures is a strategic platform that develops and strengthens transdisciplinary research, education and collaboration in sustainable urban development.

Waterscapes

From individual wetlands to multifunctional wetland landscapes

We need to see wetlands as parts of a larger landscape system, not as isolated units, and continue to follow up on both benefits and side effects. Only then can we optimize their function and create sustainable solutions for the future.

Living Labs

SLU Urban Futures work with Living Labs

SLU Urban Futures works with the concept of Living Labs - a place and a learning arena for different actors to jointly test, understand and develop solutions for complex challenges. The purpose of living labs is to experiment with new processes and methods that would otherwise be difficult to implement in conventional urban environments.
