Meta Berghauser Pont
Meta Berghauser Pont is professor of urban morphology and urban design at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg. She leads the research area SMoG (Spatial Morphology Group), which is engaged in research in the areas of urban morphology, space syntax and design theory. Through primarily analytical and quantitative methods, properties of built form are described and its significance for people's (and other species') use and experience of the city is investigated. Meta has published the book Spacematrix. Space, Density and Urban Form (2023) where the concept of density is critically examined. The book specifies the relationship between density and urban form as well as the environmental, economic and social effects of density. In addition to research, Meta teaches urban design. She is also the Head of program for Architecture with responsibility for the educational development of architectural education at bachelor's and master's level.
