Our research aims to help create socially, environmentally and economically sustainable cities. The idea of sustainable cities is rooted in the insight that cities are complex and interacting systems that require special solutions given how quickly change occurs. We approach this through various avenues that marry technology, social sciences, public policy, and the initiatives that allow for change to be implemented.
With this broad scope, we can easily adapt cutting edge technologies such as big data and IOT to suit whatever needs
We nurture the people, infrastructure, policies, and platforms for interdisciplinary collaborations that will spearhead smart city development and establish world-class cities of the future, while providing a supportive platform to develop these initiatives.
