Transdisciplinary urban research : insights and experiences
(2025) In Urban Arena Testbeds Report- Abstract
- The aim of this report is to provide insights on the expertise, knowledge, and experiences of conducting transdisciplinary urban research.

We used these questions as a guide to conduct semi-structured interviews with ten urban researchers at Lund University in 2023 and 2024. These in-person interviews lasted for 60 to 90 minutes. We then conducted a thematic analysis of the interview transcripts to identify common points of agreement and disagreement. In the following sections, we summarise three dominant themes... (More)

In the following sections, we summarise three dominant themes that emerged from the analysis of the findings: 1) developing and framing projects, 2) mutual learning and knowledge integration, and 3) reflexivity and societal impact.
