Our Mission
UGoveRN is dedicated to driving innovation and meaningful change in urban and regional governance. Founded in 2019 by Professor Tuna Tasan-Kok, we recognize that today’s rapidly evolving cities and regions require fresh, forward-thinking approaches to governance.
Through an interdisciplinary lens—bringing together disciplines such as urban planning, public administration, law, and real estate—we produce pioneering research and work closely with practitioners to translate knowledge into actionable strategies for policymakers, property industry actors, and civil society.
By combining academic excellence with practical insight, we are at the forefront of shaping bold, innovative governance for the cities and regions of tomorrow.
