ABSTRACT
This chapter develops a proposed framework for urban inter-and transdisciplinary processes. In the framework, competences and dispositions are listed separately on purpose to highlight their potential distinctiveness and relevance, thus making them more clearly visible in the phase of planning for an inter-and transdisciplinary process. The first dimension has four phases that characterise inter-and transdisciplinary processes: co-design, co-production, dissemination and outreach, and continuation. The second dimension includes four enabling conditions: time, competences and dispositions, contexts, and words. For inter-and transdisciplinary projects linked to research funds, time is almost always too short, as the unequal weight given to economic and social time results in the former trumping the latter. The third dimension describes a predisposition to learning as an individual, in teams and in society: a quality that underpins and influences the workings of both the phases and the enabling conditions.
