YOUTH EMPLOYMENT
OBSERVATORY
The Observatory focuses on three key areas: youth unemployment, quality of youth employment, and labour market policies targeting young workers. Its main goal is to produce impactful publications—such as reports and policy briefs—and to provide regularly updated, accessible data for informed societal and policy discussions.
HABIDATA - Housing Observatory
The Observatory investigates current housing transformations, emphasizing production systems, affordability, housing conditions—especially indecent housing—and policies. It bridges academic research with policy and community involvement. Guided by a multidisciplinary team, it addresses a national gap and supports evidence-based decision-making, utilizing tools like LxHabidata to enhance analysis and outreach.
City-Region Transitions Observatory
The Observatory examines rapid transitions in city-regions by analysing their metabolic systems to promote sustainable human-environment relations. Through open data and interdisciplinary research, it maps socio-environmental dynamics and material flows, developing digital and spatial narratives that support better planning and decision-making for sustainable urban development.
