Overview
The Science of Cities represents a dynamic and interdisciplinary approach to view cities as a system of systems. With emerging technology and big data, new insights supported by scientific principles can provide evidence-based solutions for shaping liveable and sustainable cities.
Inaugurated at the World Cities Summit 2022, the Science of Cities Symposium aims to bring together international academic researchers, urban practitioners and industry experts to share their scientific knowledge, novel research methodologies and insights on tackling current and emerging urban challenges. The Symposium also includes the Science of Cities Poster Exhibition, featuring innovative research projects submitted by the Research Community.
