Towards an integrated platform for the modelling and minimisation of future urban resource flows
How do we define city sustainability? How do we then measure it to determine how sustainable a city is? Which are the most effective strategies and policy measures to bring about positive change? How do we model them to evaluate their effectiveness? Positioned within this landscape, I will focus in this talk on the challenges we face in developing a platform for modelling the principle urban resource flows, in a sufficiently spatially resolved manner to support the testing of scenarios to minimise these flows in the future and how cities might transition to these target future states.
