The series showcases the broad range of disciplines involved in metropolitan research in the University Alliance Ruhr (UAR): Experts from all three universities give insights into their current work. In this winter term 2022/23, the Ruhr Lecture deals with strategic approaches to transformation processes in urban spaces across disciplines and from a variety of perspectives under the topic "Sustainable Transformation - Strategies of Urban Changes". How do cities and regions meet the growing transformation requirements in connection with the Grand Challenges? Which regional potentials are being used? What possibilities are there for steering these processes? These and more questions will be examined in greater detail in the English-language lecture series on selected Mondays from 4 to 7 pm. Once again, the Ruhr Lecture will take place in the tried and tested virtual format.
