Dellenbaugh-Losse Research & Consulting
I am an urban researcher, consultant, and author focusing on facilitating the development of inclusive, co-produced cities. My work spans a diverse range of topics, including urban commons, cultural and creative industries, intermediate and adaptive reuse of vacant buildings, participation of underrepresented groups, and the political, symbolic, and normative aspects of architecture and urban planning.
My work concentrates on the intersection between social research, public policy, and citizen empowerment in cities with the goal of creating better urban policy through actionable research, goal-oriented analysis, and more diverse stakeholder engagement.
This includes project development and management for a variety of funding schemes, for example EU (H2020, Erasmus+ KA2, URBACT), German federal (BMBF, BBSR), state, municipal, and foundation-funded projects, as well as commissioned expertise on the topics mentioned above. In 2017, I was validated by the EU program URBACT as an expert for integrated urban renewal, arts and culture, and the design and delivery of transnational exchange and learning activities. I have lectured at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Freie Universität Berlin, and the Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft and am the author and co-editor of several books, including Urban Commons: Moving beyond State and Market, Städtewandel durch Kultur, The Urban Commons Cookbook, and Inventing Berlin: Architecture, Politics and Cultural Memory in the New/Old German Capital Post-1989.
