Objetivo Issues of sustainability of urban structures and urban development are of great importance in applied urban research. The research group "cities and urban regions" has a sound basis in the theoretic and empirical analysis of urban problems. In order to develop into a centre of competence for the urban periphery it seems necessary to include applied aspects into the research agenda. There is also a growing interest in issues of peripheral growth especially in cities in Central and Eastern Europe. The institute would be in an excellent position to co-operate with Eastern European partners. A combination of theoretical, empirical an applied research aspect would produce significant synergy Effects.
