My research project explores how citizens are engaged in sustainable transitions of the built environment driven by digitalisation, and what citizen participation does to social and environmental aspects of sustainability. Intersectionality is used as an analytical strategy to deeply analyse citizen participation through a case study in Norway.
The research is part of the Sustainable Digital Transformations project under NTNU's Interdisciplinary Sustainable Initiatives.
