Research and Innovation
ABP maintains an international reputation for excellence in research and research training and as a leader in built environment and urban research. ABP’s research cuts across disciplinary boundaries. We are actively engaged in collaborations and partnerships locally and globally, to produce research that responds to major social, economic and environmental challenges of national and international importance, as well as fundamental research into the built environment in Australia and the Asian region. Our researchers address key areas of inquiry, such as sustainability, population growth, the history of the built environment, mitigation of natural disasters, professional practice, design and construction research, and lead debate in these areas.
Through the MSD, we provide the highest quality research training environment, attracting the best and brightest future researchers in our disciplines from around the world. PhD and MPhil students have access to innovative professional development programs and generous funding support, along with excellent facilities and resources. Our PhD and MPhil graduates are well-rounded professionals, critical thinkers and future research leaders.
We have built strong research foundations by valuing and developing our people, rewarding excellence, and fostering a culture of enquiry, creativity and outstanding scholarship.
