Abstract
The project "UrbaKnow: Blurred Borders: Urbanization, Knowledge-Policy and Cross-Disciplinary Interaction for Sustainable Cities, 2016" studied different knowledge traditions and which type of knowledge that is relevant in planning for sustainable cities. Big cities in rapid growth put a special focus on how strong urbanization is perceived and handled - in research, politics and planning. The way urbanisation is conceptualized, viewed and handled varies across disciplines and policy sectors and among politicians and planners. This project looked specifically at how urbanization-in-Norwegian is understood, also in a international context. One important aim was to clarify academic and political differences in the view of environmental impact of urbanization.
