Prof. Dr. Tanja Mölders chairs the international Information and Initiative Group “Gender and Spatial Transformation” which has been established by the Academy for Territorial Development in the Leibniz Association (ARL).

The Information and Initiative Group (IIK) is based on the high scientific and practical significance of gender-related research for spatial sciences as well as planning practice. It pursues the goal of demonstrating both conceptually and exemplarily how and where the category of gender can serve as an "eye-opener" in the debates on spatial transformation towards sustainability. In particular, the linking of gender-related sustainability research with approaches to gender-oriented planning under the umbrella of spatial transformation represents a novelty.
