For Research, we seek to answer the question of “how to better plan, manage, and govern, high-density, high-growth, sustainable, resilient, and liveable cities through an urban systems approach and systems thinking?”.<\/p>\r\n
We do this through understanding how cities work as complex adaptive systems (CAS) through an interdisciplinary approach and deploying a range of methodologies and sciences like systems and complexity science. We also use big data, data analytics and science, AI and digital\/ computational technology, as well as tools from engineering, architecture, environmental and ecological science, urban and real estate economics, urban planning, sociology and anthropology.<\/p>\r\n
As such, we need a wide network and community of researchers from across NUS and beyond. We work with different centres in NUS such as TMSI, TCOMS, CSAC, RMI, ESI, and different agencies like LTA, URA and JTC. We believe such close-knit collaboration is key to leverage on each other’s resources and capabilities to co-create innovative, systems solutions to some of the most pressing urban challenges facing our cities today. NUS is also best placed to take the lead in such research, given our existing network of renowned researchers and well-equipped centres and laboratories, working on ground-breaking research.<\/p>\r\n
For a start, the Office of Deputy President (Research & Technology) has provided seed funding for some projects on applying complexity science to study cities and urban challenges. These projects will be showcased in a research workshop entitled “Building an Urban Science Community in Singapore”. It is held on 7 December at the Kent Ridge Guild House and has 2 main objectives:\u00a01) To introduce NUS Cities and its\u00a0Research\u00a0Roadmap, featuring urban systems and science-driven\u00a0research, and the work of its\u00a0researchers, and 2) to seek ideas and guidance from the Singapore urban science community, especially how NUS Cities complements and supports the work of agencies and other IHLs. \u00a0 We have around\u00a0100\u00a0participants\u00a0from various agencies such as JTC, URA, CLC and NParks, and other IHLs such as NTU, SUTD and SMU. Mr Peter Ho and Prof Luis Bettencourt will deliver keynote addresses, while ODPRT DP Prof Chen Tsuhan will deliver a summary address. There will also be a panel discussion with various heads of agencies such as Dr Hee Limin of CLC, LTA CEO, Mr Ng Lang and NParks Asst CEO, Mr Tan Chong Lee, and representatives from IHLs such as Prof Thomas Schroepfer from SUTD and Prof Chew Lock Yue from NTU. The findings and insights of the workshop will be documented and detailed in a Paper.\u00a0 \u00a0 NUS Cities is in the process of securing more funding through grant calls for our\u00a0research as we continue to refine our roadmap and direction. ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/nuscities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/36\/2022\/12\/7-Dec-workshop.jpg\")
