Urban Research Forum – Seminar Series 2020

MURP UGM. One way to understand the dynamics of urban transformation in Indonesia can be achieved through research and innovation development, which is undertaken by extensive stakeholders cross-level as well as cross-disciplines. For this reason, Master in Urban and Regional Planning, Universitas Gadjah Mada (MPWK – MURP UGM) established Urban Research Forum – an inclusive research platform, facilitating academia, scholars, professionals, and policymakers to share and to enrich their knowledge and experiences on Indonesian urban transformation. One of its main activities is organising regular online seminar, under a general idea of “Sustainable Urban Transformation in Indonesia: Towards Indonesia Emas 2045”. So, in August 2020, MURP has launched and started with the first online seminar entitled “Research on Agenda on Sustainable Urban Transformation in Indonesia: Beyond Pandemic COVID-19 and The New Norma. 

The objectives of the “Urban Research Forum Seminar Series 2020″ are:

1. To explore potential research ideas from first-hand experiences of extensive Urban
   Stakeholders;
