Urban Environmental Engineering Laboratory

Carrying out robust, dynamic discussions about the foundations supporting the environment of metropolises

At Urban Environmental Engineering Laboratory, we are conducting research on new “environmental foundations” upholding metropolises of the future to plan them from two aspects: social capital (urban infrastructure, lifeline, urban facilities and architectural facilities, etc.) and natural capital (natural elements such as water, greenery, wind and soil). We are searching for theories to build environmental-conscious cities and design environmental control systems.
