Programmagroepen

Geografie, Planologie en Internationale Ontwikkelingsstudies - Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research (AISSR)

Urban Geographies (UG)

The aim of the group's research programme is, first of all, to gain a better understanding of the complex, diverse and mutual relationships between the development of urban spaces and places, time-space behaviour, and individual life courses and life chances.

Planning, Institutions and Transforming spaces (PIT)

The interrelationships between social and spatial interaction, on the one hand, and the need for taking collective action to transform spaces on the other is the research area of the group.

Governance and Inclusive Development (GID)

The mission of the research programme is to promote research on governance issues from the perspective of the global South, and to provide better inter-disciplinary understanding of how processes of governance can deal with inequalities and poverty issues at different and linking scale levels.

Geographies of Globalizations (GoG)

Since the mid-1970s the world is experiencing a second wave of globalization resulting in unpredictable but radical redistributions of human activities over different spatial scales. This research programme starts from the empirical observation that what we are confronted with is a set of differentiated articulations of globalization at multiple scales, that are best seen as the unintended effect of the strategic engagements of many different agents, motivated by different goals, interests and preferences.
