The research project at FHNW focuses on the topic of “Diverse older populations, voice and planning age-friendly environments”; the doctorate is intended to strengthen a theoretical understanding of the relationship between age and space through references to social, spatial and urban planning.

For the project, solid experience in the fields of spatial analysis as well as quantitative and qualitative social research is expected.
