We are a transdisciplinary research group developing methods to understand and address challenges associated with urbanisation and inequalities. We strive for embedding equity and justice in our work and culture.

Our Research Themes
We use computational tools to investigate how the intersection of infrastructure, governance and networked flows shape the socio-economic dynamics of urban regions.
We design computational tools to understand the drivers of social, environmental and economic inequalities in urban regions around the world.
We use participatory methods to engage stakeholders, including citizens, in co-creating socially resilient communites for knowledge and impact driven decision-making.
