Danubian SMCs builds upon the cooperation established within the Interreg project DANUrB and aims to bring together students and teachers from various universities along the Danube. The project facilitates the exchange of skills and expertise in various cities and develops a common framework to assess, analyse and plan small and medium-sized cities from Germany to Romania.
A key premise behind the project is that by applying novel and creative teaching approaches, it is possible to establish a common perspective in dealing with the heterogeneity of cities along the Danube. The project facilitates the development of mutual data acquisition, analysis and visualisation frameworks, an exchange on the similar and different challenges cities face in different regions along the river, and a platform for new perspectivesand approaches to tacklethese matters.
The project consortium – led by the Ion Mincu University of Architecture and Urbanism – is developing three Intellectual Outputs as guidelines focussing on innovative and creative teaching methods, data collection and assessment and assessing the inclusive development of Danubian small and medium-sized cities.
During the course of the project, the partner universities and are organising various intensive programmes for students and teachers in their cities. The Simlab set up the course “Sensing and Mapping the City”, focusing on innovative data acquisition techniquies. Student project results can be accessed on the following webpage:
