The research group “Urban Ethics” pioneers a new approach in Urban Studies. In the first two years of the funded project, through six subprojects and two associated subprojects, the research group has been researching ethical conflicts and debates in cities and discussions and disputes over how one should live in the city – in the sense of the issue of what constitutes good and right urban living. In this way the group opens up urban ethical phenomenon as cultural subject matter and established a new analytical approach with related concepts.In the first phase we pursued the questions how far cities can be understood as spaces for ethical negotiation and contestation, which forms and functions concrete urban ethical projects take in the context of transformation processes, which ethical modes defuse urban ethical conflicts, under what conditions are they especially powerful, and with what other intensions and interests are they associated. Our analytical interest was in political (in the accepted sense) opportunities for and barriers to particular ethical projects and problem constellations.To these ends, and to promote coordination and collaboration in our interdisciplinary research, we formulated a common main question (How should one live in the city?), four perspectives (techniques of governance, social creativity, moral economy, and ethical subjects), and three sets of questions. While the results are of course subject related and dependent, they are also, in the sense of critical cultural and social science theory and theory building, methodologically and theoretically oriented. In order to “deepen” (in the sense of systematically making our concepts precise) the Urban Ethic research approach, we plan to both further realize the value of our existing perspectives and research questions, and open up new subjects and aspects. A new perspective, the investigation of the relations between ethical and political discussions of justice ideals, will play a more prominent role than in the first phase. In the second phase we will develop and consolidate (1) methodological innovation in Urban Ethical research. This will be complemented by (2) aiming to broaden the central fields and research issues of Urban Ethics that we think are especially relevant to our collective work on common perspectives and research questions.

“城市伦理”研究小组开创了城市研究的一种新方法。在资助项目的头两年，通过六个子项目和两个相关的子项目，研究小组一直在研究城市中的伦理冲突和辩论，以及关于一个人应该如何在城市生活的讨论和争议--从什么是良好和正确的城市生活的意义上说。在第一阶段，我们追问城市在多大程度上可以被理解为伦理谈判和争论的空间，具体的城市伦理项目在转型过程中具有哪些形式和功能，哪些伦理模式化解了城市伦理冲突，在什么条件下尤其强大，以及它们与其他内涵和利益相关联。我们的分析兴趣是政治(在公认的意义上)特定伦理项目和问题集群的机会和障碍。为此，为了促进跨学科研究中的协调和合作，我们制定了一个共同的主要问题(一个人应该如何生活在城市中？)，四个视角(治理技术，社会创造力，道德经济和伦理主题)和三组问题。虽然结果当然是与学科相关和依赖的，但从批评文化和社会科学理论和理论建设的意义上讲，它们也是方法论和理论导向的。为了“深化”城市伦理学的研究方法(在系统界定概念的意义上)，我们计划进一步认识到我们现有视角和研究问题的价值，并开辟新的学科和方面。一个新的视角，即伦理与政治之间关系的正义理想的讨论，将发挥比第一阶段更突出的作用。在第二阶段，我们将发展和巩固(1)城市伦理研究的方法论创新。此外，(2)旨在拓宽城市伦理的中心领域和研究问题，我们认为这些领域和研究问题与我们在共同观点和研究问题上的集体工作特别相关。
