The PULSE project originates within the research group Coastal Design Lab - CDL established at the Department of Architecture and Design of UniGe in 2014. CDL focuses on the design of the operational coastline, urban-port waterfronts and related architectural heritage.

PortCityFutures
International research group (Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Universities - NL) that explores port cities particularities and proposes spatial planning and design measures for the use of this limited space so that the port and city (and region) can jointly evolve. Directed by Prof.dr.ing. Carola Hein (TU Delft), PortCityFutures employs interdisciplinary methods and long-term perspectives to connect political, economic, social, and cultural dimensions of spatial use.
