NRP 65 will develop concepts and strategies for new urban quality. It will demonstrate innovative ways to achieve urban development, urban redevelopment, and urban planning in Switzerland.
When developing the concepts and strategies for new urban quality, the following aspects should be taken into consideration:
- urban planning/architectural design,
- aesthetics and perception of public spaces,
- ecological sustainability and consequences of climate change,
- social cohesion, safety/security, lifestyles, and demographic changes,
- economic productivity.
Within NRP 65 interdisciplinary research teams will work together. In addition to the strategies/concepts, NRP 65 places a special emphasis on the knowledge of how interdisciplinary learning processes work.
