Institute for Social Planning, Organisational Change and Urban Development
Our work focuses on social change.
Social change means that society is changing. Change can be observed on many levels: social structure (macro-level); institutions and organisations (meso-level); individuals and their life-situations (micro-level). We address these changes and their consequences in our core working areas: social planning, organisational change, and urban development. Our consultancy and further training are closely related to our state-of-the-art research and its cutting-edge findings.
Institute staff undertake research and development, provide services, run further education programmes, and teach on the FHNW’s Bachelor and Master of Arts in Social Work.
