The lab is concerned with the emerging topics in understanding, modeling and managing various urban systems such as transport, energy, water supply, waste and other areas.
The future of cities is at the core of worldwide development strategies. Today, the economic growth brought by the development of urban areas is unparalleled. Total urban population is expected to increase by 66% by 2050, with more than six billion people living in cities. This presents many social, technical, and economic opportunities, but also poses significant challenges.
Current and future technological developments in the areas of mobility technologies and digitalization present many opportunities for disruptive change of the current mobility system and, with it, the whole city. Within this context, the Future Cities Lab is developing research related to the future of urban transportaion, resouce managment and health-care systems.
