Urban planners are working to improve city systems using new technologies. A Centre of Excellence is proposed to bring together research and training. This initiative will focus on making urban development more sustainable.

The goal is to create infrastructure that can withstand climate-related issues. Researchers will study ways to make planning more adaptive to climate change.

Further information is available on this collaboration, which involves a university and a development authority, and aims to benefit all communities, including those that are marginalized.
