About us

The Smart Cities and Infrastructure Research Centre specialises in intelligent infrastructure, smart cities and regenerative design explorations for the built environment. The team develops optimised solutions for complex issues in the design, construction, and manufacturing industries, with a focus on improving the well-being of human and natural systems.

The cluster investigates building efficiency, sustainable construction, urban, social and technological infrastructure planning, and the transformation of the respective industries towards a regenerative system. Our work encompasses a holistic approach, considering systems thinking, lifecycle perspectives, and the integration of sustainability principles to shape cities and create positive ecological impacts.
