CECS is one of the Portuguese research partners of a new research consortium, Engaging Places and Communities for Inclusive Peri-Urban Transitions. This project was funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology, under the Driving Urban Transitions Partnership programme.
Coordinated by the University of Delft in the Netherlands, the project seeks to analyse sustainable urban transition, particularly in large peri-urban areas.
The CECS research team is coordinated by Pedro Chamusca.
