About the lab
Our research in PEILab deals with pressing socio-environmental challenges, spatial planning, urban governance and policy-making. We focus on the social, spatial and environmental dimensions of energy production and consumption, water, agricultural practices, and climate-change more generally, as one of the biggest topics of concerns to the global society and earth.
