Lorenza Manfredi

Lorenza Manfredi is a researcher affiliated with the University of Regensburg. She works in Prof. Anna Steigemann's team at Fairville, where she collaborates with eight urban laboratories to investigate co-production in European and African regions. Her research spans urban and rural contexts, focusing on productive conflicts and the interaction of diverse actors.

Her academic background includes a doctorate in urbanism from TU Berlin and IUAV Venice (2022), examining disruptions in neoliberal urban processes through autonomous spaces. She has since worked with urbanes.land and Biberach University of Applied Sciences on cooperative spatial design in small towns, particularly exploring future mobility spaces within real-world laboratories.

She contributes to academic discourse through publications in journals and edited volumes by Springer, Jovis, transcript, and Quodlibet. Additional expertise lies in experimental didactics and managing shared spaces via artistic and cultural programs.
