The British Academy: Research proposals on the question-"What is a Good City?’"

Applications that address questions such as these: How can urban life maintain and repair human wellbeing and mental health rather than the opposite? What anticipatory intelligence, social inclusion, political process and health provision should the good city have? What social, political, economic, and cultural values are embedded in urban policymaking?

The purpose of each project will be to develop new international research ideas. Projects will also need to demonstrate an innovative and interdisciplinary partnership between researchers in the social sciences or the humanities on the one hand, and counterparts in the natural, engineering and / or medical sciences on the other. The lead applicant must be a researcher from the humanities or social sciences, and be based at an eligible UK university or research institute

Awards of 24 months in duration and up to £200,000 are available.
