✦ Synopsis


Metropolitan research requires interdisciplinary collaboration in order to do justice to the complexities of metropolitan regions. This volume provides a scholarly and accessible overview of key methods and approaches in metropolitan research from a uniquely broad range of disciplines including architectural history, art history, heritage conservation, literary and cultural studies, spatial planning and planning theory, geoinformatics, urban sociology, economic geography, operations research, technology studies, transport planning, aquatic ecosystems research and urban epidemiology. It is this transdisciplinary perspective that allows metropolitain research to address recent social challenges of urban life, such as mobility, accessibility, or sustainability.
