On 31 July 2020, our Build4People team successfully submitted the project proposal for the upcoming four-year Research and Development phase with the title “Build4People: Enhancing Quality of Life through Sustainable Urban Transformation”.
Based on our experiences of the ongoing Definition phase and intensive internal discussions, we have been able to refine our approach and to develop a comprehensive research design with a sequence of three research phases: 1) societal and scientific problem-based research, 2) transdisciplinary action research, and finally 3) reflection, refinement and re-integration of created knowledge.
The graph above gives an overview of the proposed Build4People consortium structure of the RD phase with all research, implementation and dissemination partners.
