Urban Systems
The Urban Systems pillar explores the question of how hard and soft infrastructures might affect urban development and resilience. It also explores how these infrastructures evolve in response to hazards, and the connectivity between places that enable the flows of people, goods, services, information and energy.
Much more than just the physical and built environment, Urban Systems encompasses the material, socio-cultural, economic, and legal-regulatory systems that govern, optimise, and advance our cities.
