Von April 2006 -2020 Mitarbeiter in Forschung und Lehre am Fachgebiet Landschaftsarchitektur.Freiraumplanung.

Seit September 2012 ist er neben seinen Tätigkeiten im Drittmittelbereich (Forschung) Mitarbeiter in der Lehre am Fachgebiet. Der Schwerpunkt der letzten Jahre im Bereich der Forschung lag in der Koordination und Bearbeitung der Forschungsprojekte „Urban Agriculture as an Integrative Factor of Climate-Optimised Urban Development, Casablanca/Morocco (UAC)“ (seit Januar 2010 bis März 2014), „Rapid Planning – Sustainable Infrastructure, environmental and resource management for high dynamic metropolises (RP)“ (seit Dezember 2011) und „Rural Urban Nexus – Global nachhaltige Landnutzung und Urbanisierung (RUN)“ (seit Januar 2016). Zuvor hat er landschaftsarchitektonische Projekte in Berlin und Potsdam bearbeitet. 2010 gewann er den “BMBF Young Researchers Award” für “Forschung für die Nachhaltige Entwicklung für Megastädte von morgen”.

Der Fokus der inhaltlichen Arbeit Christoph Kaspers liegt in den folgenden Themenfeldern: Stadt als mehrdimensionales System und deren räumlich-gestalterische Umsetzung, Stadtstrukturen und nachhaltige urbane-rurale Verknüpfungen in Modell und Theorie, produktive grüne Infrastrukturen, sozio-räumliche Praktiken und Verflechtung von urbanen und ruralen Sphären, Rekursiver Entwurf, Design von multifunktionalen Raumsystemen. Dabei kann er auf vielfältige trans- und interdisziplinäre Erfahrungen im internationalen Kontext (z.B. Marokko, Jordanien, Ägypten, Ruanda, Vietnam) zurückgreifen.
