New publications of the working group Economic Geography

There are new publications in the Economic Geography working group: Tatiana López, together with colleagues from the AK Labor Geography, argues in a new contribution to the debate why work and workers should play a more central role in critical urban research. Together with colleagues, Sina Hardaker and Paulina Doll analyze to what extent cooperation between digital retail platforms and urban actors can represent a sustainable model for German local retail trade.

In a recent book contribution, Marit Rosol uses Community Food Initiatives to investigate why social and ecological concerns need to be tackled together and how this can be done.
