Adaptive Mobility Infrastructure and Land-use
Our module focuses on conducting cutting-edge studies and can be summarised into three pillars - (a) Transforming and forecasting city-wide mobility patterns, (b) Decision-making and planning processes for transport infrastructure in the face of uncertainties, and (c) Sustainable and interactive land-use planning.
Adaptive Mobility Infrastructure and Land-use
Responsiveness of infrastructure planning - Embracing adaptive planning methods to meet societal needs
This research (1) maps the planning process of transport infrastructure, (2) identifies the potential of adaptive planning methods in planning practice, (3) develops state-of-the-art tools to plan regional infrastructure development considering future uncertainties
