This is a publication that combines research and teaching in architecture: urban design at KTH Architecture. It is not a complete catalogue but a gathering of contributions that show the breadth of activity but also operates as integrator between different interests and activities at the department. It is one of the outputs of a development project initiated by the head of KTH to develop a research profile towards sustainable urban design in architecture focused around social ecological urban design, which was primarily done by Alexis Pontvik, Ann Legeby, Catharina Gabrielsson, Daniel Koch (ed.), Meike Schalk and Erik Wingquist (ed.).
