Urban systems in interaction with people, technology and the space they occupy
Some current projects entail the creation of innovative participation methods and co-creative processes to involve people in development projects that will jointly shape the livable cities of tomorrow. Our scientists tap into the opportunities provided by digitalization, IT and communication technologies in built-up areas. We also create organizational and information technology concepts for our customers, in compliance with the latest data protection regulations, to further develop urban processes in the best possible way. In addition, our interdisciplinary teams carry out in-depth research on the societal consequences of urban developments and put current scientific knowledge to use.
Our Urban Systems Engineering researchers focus on:
- System solutions for customer-friendly logistics and services that are geared to demand
- Identification and assessment of service potential in the sphere of urban logistics
- Integrated management of urban parking facilities and setup of microhubs in city centers
- Scientific assistance on experiments and reality labs in urban spaces
- Development of intelligent district concepts
- “Morgenstadt – city of the future” as a new paradigm of urban development
- Internationalization of potential solutions for sustainable construction and urban planning
- Use of creative formats for the transdisciplinary networking of stakeholders
- Shaping of innovation processes at the interface between municipal authorities, private enterprise and the general public
- Optimization of crisis and disaster management in cooperation with various stakeholders
