The Institute for Urban Research is a university-wide research centre that brings together all urban research at Malmö University.
Seeking to shape a collective identity for urban research at Malmö University, the IUR aims to create a research environment that clearly meets urban challenges across the globe.
The IUR is open to all research within the broad field of urban studies but has a specific focus on seven themes: housing and urban renewal, urban economics, mobilities, urban ecology, migration, social sustainability and smart cities.
Latest news from the institution.
The first IUR Workshop will take place on October 4th. The event is free of charge but there are limited places.
