The Td knowledge co-production guide book
The book sets out the broad methodological approaches to transdisciplinary co-production and explains individual methods and tools to facilitate this type of collaborative research, developed or modified by Mistra Urban Futures. Detailed contextual explanations and recommendations will enable readers to adapt methods to become locally appropriate and hence useful in co-producing more just and sustainable urban areas and societies as a whole.
