Sustainable Urban Development
Master's Thesis Seminar (2018 -)
Guided by Prof. Aya Kachi & Prof. Pascal Gantenbein (University of Basel)
History
Since 2018, we have been guiding master's theses focusing on sustainable real estate and sustainable urban development from socio-economic perspectives.
Students from the Faculty of Business and Economics as well as the Master's Program in Sustainable Development (MSD) at the University of Basel have worked on various topics in this field.
We are currently on a break (2021-2023) but will come back soon and open the seminar again.
