To increase the understanding of the urban, SLU Urban Futures introduces a number of thematic focus areas for research; Urban Foodscapes, Urban Healthscapes, Urban Forestscapes, Urban Waterscapes and Urban Energyscapes.
Foodscapes refers to the complex inter-relations and connections between people, place and food.
Healthscapes refers to the interrelations between humans and planetary health nested into places and emphasizing the various conditions shaping human-nature relationships.
The study of forestscapes explores the complex relationships between forests, people and cities.
Waterscapes refer to the inter-relationships of water and society and their spatial consequences.
Energyscapes refer to relationships of energy consumption, production, distribution, governance and space.
