Welcome
at the Chair of Urban Sociology and Sociology of Space

About us

The focus of the Chair of Urban Sociology and Sociology of Space is on the complex interrelationships between society and (urban) space. In this context, (urban) space that is built and planned is considered both as a social product and a means of social reproduction. (Urban) space is shaped and negotiated by various human actors and, in turn, it reshapes human identities and behaviors, enables and constrains social action and interaction.

The department's work focuses on the temporality and spatiality of the city, urban heritage and heritage industries, the city and tourism, social and spatial inequalities in the city, mobility(s), smart cities, interim uses, housing in transition, postcolonial spaces, and the city and soccer.
