About the state-of-the-art articles:
We will conduct a series of articles that present state of the art of research on sustainable transformation of urban environments done in Tampere University. The articles will be about 3-5 pages long and will be published in Alusta, an e-publication based in Tampere University. Each article will address important theme for research done in Tampere Uni on this area. The aim is to showcase research done thus far (“presenting what we know” in easily accessible package) as well as what is investigated now & what calls for further research/has not yet been addressed but should be. The aim is that the texts would be interdisciplinary when possible, bringing together knowledge and key findings from key researchers & projects working on the theme in TUNI. The themes (below) were formed in Urban Research Afternoon that was held on 29.3.2023.
Themes and leading authors (some further themes might come up for the series; we will let you know if this happens)
1) Sustainable wellbeing; scales of approaching sustainability. Leading authors: Jonathon Taylor and Juha Vinha
2) City taking care of us, leading author: Johanna Kujala
3) Sustainable care/health in cities, leading author: Anna Rajala
4) Alternative economics, leading authors: Ilona Steiler, Mio Reilin
5) What do we mean with sustainable transformation?, leading authors: Alisa Vänttinen, Liisa Häikiö
