Complex urban problems cannot be solved within the confines of a single design or scientific discipline. They require the knowledge and expertise of researchers from different fields of science and design.
As a medium of knowledge transfer, the conferences and workshops of the »Real-Time City« research center bring together researchers from design, art and architecture, cultural and media studies, as well as urban and spatial research with actors from culture, education and urban development. They present and discuss the latest findings and developments.
Conferences and workshops organized by the »Real-Time City« research center consider design as a cultural technique that generates specific urban knowledge about urban phenomena, systems and processes. This perspective aims to challenge established scientific boundaries. The public events pursue a deliberate openness that combines different ways of thinking and acting in design and science in order to initiate thinking beyond disciplinary or technical responsibilities and to focus on overarching socially relevant issues.
