The Sustainable Built Environment Research Cluster is composed of a team of over 20 dedicated researchers, along with the postgraduate research students they supervise, who are working on a wide range of multidisciplinary problems associated with the planning, design and management of sustainable urban environments. Cluster members are addressing some of the most pressing problems facing the world today, such as combating and adapting to global warming and climate change and loss of biodiversity. The over-riding aim of the cluster is to build knowledge and develop technologies to guide environmental design and planning practices so that future generations might be able to inherit an ecologically healthy and livable world. Collectively, cluster members possess knowledge in a wide range of physical and social aspects of planning and design needed to solve the many complex problems we face in achieving sustainable development of the land and to disseminate this knowledge to key decision-makers and the public. |
