About the Institute for Urban Research and Malmö University
The Institute for Urban Research (IUR) at Malmö University, Sweden, is a newly established interdisciplinary research institute that brings together geographers, historians, economists, planners, architects, urban designers, political scientists, ethnologists, anthropologists and sociologists. Our researchers conduct research in the fields of migration, housing and urban renewal, urban economics, mobilities, social sustainability, urban ecology, and urban histories.
By bringing together urban researchers at Malmö University, the IUR seeks to trigger synergies between different strands of research around urban challenges currently existing at Malmö University. The IUR has a threefold aim. First, it wants to expose urban challenges in our research. Second, it wants to propose urban solutions to those challenges, which take the form of scientific interventions, practical solutions resulting in policy advice, and education. Third, it wants to engage in urban transformation through not only gathering knowledge about challenges and proposing solutions, but by playing a pro-active role in the implementation of those proposals through intense collaboration with authorities, private actors and civil society groups.
Malmö University is a very young university that recently received a significant increase in research funding from the Swedish government. Its number of researchers and its research activities are rapidly expanding. The city of Malmö is located in the very south of Sweden and is very close to the Danish capital Copenhagen with its excellent international travel connections.
