Given the overarching scientific remit and the goal of producing knowledge that advances spatial sustainability transformations, DLGS research topics focus on well-substantiated priority challenges. These challenges are multi-dimensional by nature and enable the application of diverse scientific perspectives. As a general principle, DLGS therefore aims at topics that:

  • Are problem-oriented and selected with a view to the evolving time horizons, pressures and priorities of spatial sustainability transformations;
  • Are open to research approaches based on any pertinent scientific discipline;
  • Enable meaningful empirical study in and across any global region(s).

Past DLGS calls have included topics such as:
