‌Future Cities: improving our world

Living sustainably is a challenge for all of us as individuals, but it is also a challenge for our communities, our cities, our employers and our governments. 

Our researchers are focused on how technology, data and people will transform cities and communities - creating solutions with 'a people focus'.
