Our focus

Research at the UTS School of Built Environment through the Faculty’s research centres is focused on:

  • Managing economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable urban redevelopment and infrastructure investment
  • Managing project complexity and change in the knowledge economy
  • Digital technologies and design team management
  • Property rights, land taxation, urban governance, and equity considerations in development.
  • Construction project management on large sites
  • Industry-leading digital technology.
