URBAN RED is a Thematic Network on Sustainable Urban Development. It had its origin in a project framed in the 2015 Call for Dynamization Actions "Networks of Excellence", of the State Program of Scientific and Technical Research of Excellence, State Subprogram of Knowledge Generation, within the framework of the State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation 2013-2016 (Project: DER2015-71345-REDT).
Since then, URBAN RED has established itself as a space for the exchange of expert knowledge and recent experiences on sustainable development in cities and territories, involving multidisciplinary approaches that are projected on the complexity of the urban phenomenon, with contributions that cover the social, economic, environmental and institutional dimensions.
