We focus in our research on various urban related subjects varying from culture and history related subjects to governance, planning, architecture, displacement, housing and vulnerability. The heart of all of our research is attempting to understand the city more, and recognising different voices of the actors who make the city.

Includes producing publications, art research, video essays, written pieces in forms of essays, articles and booklets. We also develop experimental research methodologies and approaches in the field of urban studies.
