A presentation by Lukas Spatz on his preliminary work was given at the 8th NEST conference at July 1, 2023.
His presented research project deals with the influence of urban landcape structure on different indicators of well-being, such as life satisfaction.
The annual NEST Conference provides an opportunity for exchange between early career
researchers working on topics related to sustainability transitions. It was hosted by the Leibniz-Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development (IOER) and the Dresden Leibniz Graduate School (DLGS) in Dresden, Germany and took place in a hybrid (online+on-site) format.
Topics at the conference covered a wide variety of subjects ranging from transitions in agriculture (e.g. Non-Pesticide Management) and food to issues of cultural heritage such as music traditions in Southern India. A key note with the title: "From governance of transitions to governance for transitions: a problematic affair with complexity" was given by Zora Kovacic, who is researcher fellow at the Open University of Catalonia and holds an Associate Professor position at the Centre for the Study of the Sciences and the Humanities (SVT), University of Bergen.
