Professor Tigran Haas forskning utforskar hur städer formas, inte bara genom sin fysiska struktur, utan också genom stadslivets sociala, tidsmässiga och psykologiska dimensioner. I skärningspunkten mellan stadsplanering och -gestaltning, arkitektur och samhällsvetenskap undersöker hans tvärvetenskapliga arbete hur offentliga rum, bostäder och urban form påverkar välbefinnande, inkludering och rumslig rättvisa. Han har lett och deltagit i ett flertal externt finansierade forskningsprojekt som behandlar centrala urbana utmaningar såsom ensamhet, den åldrande staden, feministisk planering, segregation och platskapande. Dr. Haas har utvecklat innovativa begrepp som tidsmässig urbanism, emergerande platskapande och post-rumslig segregation. Dessa originella teoretiska bidrag omformulerar förståelsen av staden, inte bara som en fysisk miljö, utan som ett levande system av tid, urban minnesbildning och mänsklig samhörighet.

Professor Haas är tidigare föreståndare för Ax:son Johnsons Centre for the Future of Places (CFP), ett av KTH:s mest framgångsrika forskningscentra, samt tidigare chef för laboratoriet Urban Form and Human Behavior (CAL). Han leder idag Urban Rural Lab (URL), en forskningsmiljö med fokus på urban–rurala dynamiker, rumslig rättvisa, hållbarhet och digital innovation, och är även affilierad till Norman B. Leventhal Center for Advanced Urbanism (LCAU) vid MIT i USA. Med över 25 års undervisningserfarenhet i Sverige och internationellt har han författat och varit redaktör för mer än tio böcker och publicerat över 125 vetenskapliga arbeten. Han räknas som en av de ledande internationella rösterna inom samtida urbanism och har byggt upp inflytelserika globala akademiska och policyinriktade nätverk som främjar kritiska, människocentrerade och framtidsinriktade angreppssätt på stadsbyggande.
