The ILS \u2013 Research Institute for Regional and Urban Development is a non-university urban research institute which explores the dynamics and diversity of urban change in international comparison. The aim of our application-oriented basic research is a better understanding of recent urbanisation processes, in order to gain inter- and transdisciplinary insights into the socially, ecologically and economically sustainable transformation and design of urban spaces at different spatial scales, and we do this in active dialogue with practitioners, policy-makers and societal stakeholders.<\/p>\n

ILS is a founding member of the Johannes-Rau-Forschungsgemeinschaft. We actively participate in the research network \u201cSpatial Knowledge for Society and Environment \u2013 Leibniz R\u201c<\/a> as well as in other regional, national and international cooperations and networks<\/a>, and consider us an important node in spatial scientific research in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, and Europe.<\/p>\n

In January 2022, the ILS founded an affiliate, the non-profit ILS Research gGmbH<\/a>. With this, the third-party funding area of the institute was organizationally separated out. <\/p>\n

ILS is based in Dortmund. It is a non-profit limited company. The shareholder is the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.<\/p>\n<\/div>
