At the IDHUS Institute, we are dedicated to the study, analysis, and research of urban transformation on a global scale, from a multidisciplinary and integrative perspective. Our work is structured around several strategic lines of action that allow us to address the complexity of contemporary cities and contribute to their sustainable and inclusive development.
Applied Research and Urban Analysis
We develop articles, reports, thematic dossiers, and studies on urban processes at various scales, combining quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Our analyses address topics such as:
- Urban demographics and migration
- Social and territorial inequalities
- Urban economy and labor markets
- Ecological transition and climate resilience
- Technology, digitalization, and smart cities
- Urban governance and citizen participation
- Culture, heritage, and identity dynamics
These publications aim to promote informed dialogue and broaden public understanding of critical issues in urban development across the globe.
Events and Conferences
We organize and participate in international gatherings, conferences, and seminars that bring together experts from diverse disciplines to exchange ideas, generate enriching debates, and build collective proposals.
These events are designed to promote critical thinking and stimulate strategic collaborations.
Education and Training
We take part in educational programs, seminars, talks, specialized courses, and hands-on workshops designed to understand key concepts in a changing environment. These are aimed at offering a clear, global, and holistic perspective on the most relevant aspects of social, economic, cultural, demographic, and technological development of cities worldwide.
Projects
We are actively involved in projects related to urban development, smart cities, and the transformation of our urban environments under principles of sustainability, climate resilience, and adaptation to demographic shifts.
These projects are mainly part of initiatives funded by the European Union, under programs such as Horizon Europe and others.
Collaboration and Global Networks
We seek strategic alliances and collaborative projects with academic institutions, international organizations, and independent experts.
We actively promote international cooperation to jointly address the complex challenges of human and social development within our areas of work.
The IDHUS Institute aims to be a reference point in helping society understand the processes, dynamics, and changes constantly shaping the development of cities—the very spaces that serve as homes and central hubs for society’s growth.
