JPI Urban Europe Project COOLSCHOOLS

In our research, people are our focus. Everyone is included, from societal thought-leaders, government policy makers, high-level civil society advocates, entrepreneurs and citizens, and the disenfranchised. These people are our collaborators, participants, beneficiaries, and users. PLUS focuses on understanding the spatial information needs of society and responding to those needs in responsible ways – as tools, as systems, as infrastructure, or as ways of thinking. Our work sits at the nexus of urbanisation, land tenure, governance, climate change, and transportation – and the grand challenges of sustainability and social equity in the age of the Anthropocene.
