Prof Potthoff is involved in a research project titled ‘ TOWARDS”. The project is part of NMBUs Sustainability Arenas 2021- 2024.
TOWARDS supports the transformation of cities and communities towards socially just and sustainable futures. Complex global challenges like climate change, COVID-19 and rapid urbanisation bring into stark relief the deeper health and well-being dimensions of sustainable development, including social belonging, everyday interactions, and the environmental quality of local surroundings.

TOWARDS fosters interdisciplinary co-learning regarding transformations towards sustainable development in cities and settlements, through:
Piloting experiments with green technologies and nature based solutions in people’s lived environments
Examining equity and ethical dilemmas in best practices for promoting health, well-being and environmental qualities of local communities
Exploring new modes of policy and planning required to govern sustainability transformations
