World leading research
Our aspiration is to deliver world-leading, co-created research that shapes built environments of the future, delivering global impact to support the creation of sustainable, resilient buildings that embrace ideas to improve the wellbeing and wider cultural lives of all citizens.
Our academics have breadth and depth of expertise across the entire range of built environment and property disciplines. Individually, they expand our understanding of the world; collectively and collaboratively, they deliver analysis that addresses the major challenges in the delivery of a sustainable built environment.
We acknowledge the new fast-changing realities in our towns and cities. Disruptive innovations, largely relying on the significant advance in digital technologies, have already made significant strides towards achieving sustainable, resilient, and more inclusive future-built environments.
We therefore position ourselves in a way to best deliver against these new realities. Our staff are poised to generate concepts and solutions that are designed to create ideas, digital tools and new infrastructure that all work together to deliver solutions for new forms of living. In doing so, we aim to address the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).
