While the main focus lies on the Ruhr Region, experiences from other metropolitan regions are included in a comparative approach. Since 2013, the RUHR LECTURE has been organized by the Institute of Geography at Ruhr-University Bochum and the Faculty of Spatial Planning at TU Dortmund University. In 2016, they were joined by the Joint Center “Urban Systems” at the University of Duisburg-Essen. Since the winter term 2016/17, the RUHR LECTURE has been organized by the Competence Field “Metropolitan Research” of the UAR.
The series is part of the activities of the Network Ruhr (Urban and Regional Research Network Ruhr, www.surf-ruhr.de).
