Urban Environmental Governance goes FRIAS

The Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS) is the international research college of the University of Freiburg. As an integral part of the university, the Institute unites the humanities and social sciences as well as medicine, the natural sciences and engineering. Dr. Philipp Späth together with a consortium of scholars from our university, from the Rachel Carson Center in Munich and from Strasbourg University has been granted competitive funding of an interdisciplinary project group within the context of FRIAS. Beginning this fall, they will jointly organize a graduate course, an international conference and some joint publications on the topic of "Green Cities" in USA, Germany and Singapore. They will also invite scholars from abroad and reflect particularly on how the 'mandates' for local environmental policies differ across the cases and how they changed over time.
