Resilient and sustainable urban environments embed much more than the triple bottom line and anticipating, adapting and responding to environmental shocks and stresses. At the School of Built Environment, we embrace a broad approach that includes the roles of organisations and communities in enabling and supporting the creation and development of such resilient and sustainable environments.
The Resilient Futures Stream of the School of Built Environment is a transdisciplinary, hands-on team that works closely with industry, other partner universities, not-for-profit and communities to help them achieve their goals in this space. We focus on a wide range of topics, such as climate, places, inclusiveness and security, involving a diversity of populations, including children and vulnerable communities. We employ a multitude of methods, including stakeholder engagement, action research, analysing big data and spatial analysis.
Our main goal is to develop impactful research that solves real-life problems and positions our partners as thought leaders in their fields.
