Project on Housing as a digitalised service gets grant
Project on Housing as a digitalised service gets grantGuy Baeten and Carina Listerborn at The Institute for Urban Research and The Department of Urban Studies have been awarded an environment grant on the social consequences of digitalisation from the Swedish Research Council. The project is titled “Housing as a digitalised service“ and will run from 2025 to 2030 (6 years). The grant is SEK 16 700 000. Digitalization is today an integral part of how we dwell, not only because of new smart home technologies, but also because new housing developments are built with digital infrastructures and/or based on digital platform services. This project addresses the societal consequences of this type of digitalisation and explores how it is redefining how we dwell and turning housing into a digitized service.

Doctoral studies at Urban Studies
The third-cycle subject area of Urban Studies can be defined as the scientific study of the content, form, planning, and transformation of urban areas. The subject is positioned in the exciting interface between social and cultural practices and the material world of landscapes, buildings, infrastructures, and everyday objects. Organisation Studies at Malmö University takes its point of departure in societal challenges and studies local, regional, and global activities, sustainability, and inclusion in organisations. Organisation Studies require an interaction between theorising and empirical-based research.
Collaborate with US
An important task for Urban Studies is to collaborate with industry, municipalities or other parties on different projects. It is possible to collaborate with us in many ways, with relation to our research and our first-cycle courses and study programmes. Degree projects, conferences, contract education, accompanying and commissioned research are examples of activities that all take place in collaboration with society.
