Urban science

Urban science is an interdisciplinary field that studies diverse urban issues and problems. Based on research findings of various disciplines such as history, economics, sociology, administration, architecture, urban engineering, transportation engineering, landscape architecture, environmental engineering, and geo-informatics, it aims to produce both theoretical and practical knowledge that contributes to understanding and solving urban issues in contemporary society.

Urban science uses a computational understanding of city systems to evaluate how they work and how they grow and change. Its aim is to make cities more habitable, resilient, and sustainable.
