Our Vision
Our ultimate goal is to deliver inter- & transdisciplinary built environment research to improve health, wellbeing and sustainability. Systems thinking is used to understand how different elements of buildings and the wider built environment interact. Our mission is to inform and support decision making to enable transformative change as cities and governments seek to meet climate change mitigation and adaption targets. Our research fits into the wider context of clean energy and net zero carbon. We work both locally and internationally to help cities achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Our core value underpins the notion of equitable and inclusive spaces where people can live healthy and fulfilling lives.
