Life
From April 1994 until his departure in 2008 he was department head at the Leibniz Institute for Regional Development and Structural Planning (IRS) in Erkner . There he essentially developed the institute's urban structure and regional cultural milieu research (suburbanization research, border milieus Germany / Poland, post-socialist transformations, learning regions). Since 2001 he has dedicated himself to the coevolution of space, knowledge and interactions. Development relationships between different forms of knowledge, science and urban regions are central. In addition to knowledge-based governance analyzes (European research network G-FORS - Governance for Sustainability), building culture , cultural landscapes , spatial pioneers and regional culinary systems are other areas of his work and interests.
