Seeking Research Partners in Urban Planning, Climate Resilience and Social Inclusion – DUT 2026

Prof. Dr. (Landscape Architect) at Karadeniz Technical University

Trabzon, Türkiye

About

Karadeniz Technical University (Türkiye) is looking for university and research partners to strengthen the multidisciplinary consortium of RE-LIVE 15 under the DUT Partnership Call 2026.

The project combines the 15-minute city concept, adaptive reuse of urban spaces, blue-green infrastructure, circular economy, social inclusion and explainable AI-supported planning.

We are particularly interested in research expertise in:

  • Urban and regional planning and 15-minute neighbourhood accessibility.

  • Sustainable mobility and pedestrian network analysis.

  • Urban climate modelling, thermal comfort and nature-based solutions.

  • Social inclusion, environmental justice and participatory planning.

  • Circular construction materials and life-cycle carbon assessment.

  • GIS-based spatial modelling and comparative urban performance evaluation.

Research partners will contribute to the development of a harmonised assessment framework, analysis of at least two pilot neighbourhoods, evaluation of transformation scenarios, urban living labs, impact monitoring and scientific dissemination.

We welcome research teams interested in collaborative applied research with municipalities, technology SMEs and community stakeholders.
