Research and Working Groups

Research at the Chair of Urban Structure and Transport Planning is divided into three research groups (RG) and a supporting working group (WG): 

RG Accessibility Planning

Dr.-Ing. Benjamin Büttner

The aim is to support integrated land-use and transport planning by means of accessibility - a concept, which has been proven to enhance quality of life and sustainability in our cities. 

RG Integrated Mobility Concepts

Dr.-Ing. Julia Kinigadner

Mobility planning is a cross-sectional task that requires integrated thinking and action. The research group therefore focuses on sustainable and innovative mobility solutions as well as the planning, potential and effects of these.

RG Mobility Justice

Dr.-Ing. David Duran-Rodas

The research group aims to create awareness, assess and addresses mobility injustices. The main methodology focuses on mixed methods approaches combining spatial analysis and machine learning with qualitative techniques.

WG Governance

MSc Carolin Zimmer

The working group is cross-functional and supports different projects with regard to governance processes. Additionally, the group organizes lectures, workshops, and citizens participation processes.
