Aside from common spatial references (research on certain metropolitan spaces), social challenges that require cooperative research, such as climate protection and adaptation, demographic change, and migration, play a central role in our theoretical and methodological considerations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Research questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How can quantitative and qualitative research approaches be reasonably combined?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What are the possibilities and limits of the differing modeling processes of complex systems (inter alia agent-based modeling, genetic algorithms, stochastic optimization, cartographic visualization, verbal models, everyday models and mental maps) and to what degree are these models complimentary?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With which methods can one model\/scale\/make manageable urban complexity and at what cost?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How do differing approaches \u2013 both theoretical and practical \u2013 measure up and where are the boundaries?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How can inter- and transdisciplinary metropolitan research be organized by paradigmatic concepts (\u201ccomplexity\u201d)?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For further information and if you are interested in working with us, please contact the office:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:metropolenforschung@uaruhr.de\">metropolenforschung@uaruhr.de<\/a><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":50779,"template":"","class_list":["post-49015","forschung","type-forschung","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/metropolenforschung.uaruhr.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/forschung\/49015","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/metropolenforschung.uaruhr.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/forschung"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/metropolenforschung.uaruhr.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/forschung"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metropolenforschung.uaruhr.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50779"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/metropolenforschung.uaruhr.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
