Urban governance and participation
One of the areas chosen by SHS for the study of social transformations is urban development. UNESCO’s Social and Human Sciences Section (SHS) concentrates particularly on urban policies through interdisciplinary networks of comparative, international research. This approach focuses on the in-depth analyses of urban development processes.
