Dr Anique Hommels (A.M.)

Anique Hommels' current research focuses on two themes:

1) Urban sociotechnical change and obduracy

2) Resilience and vulnerability in pre- and post-disaster cities

Embedterlabs project, funded by JPI-Urban Europe. This project studies how Urban Living Labs (for sustainable urban transformation) can be better embedded in urban policy mixes. We focus on Urban Living Labs in three cities: Stockholm, Gdansk and Maastricht.
