About Urban Systems
DAAP Urban systems research is a transdisciplinary team of scholars who work closely with cities to advance more vibrant communities. Our mission is to collaborate across areas ranging from urban planning, architecture, landscape architecture, art, and transportation in order to bring about comprehensive insights and outcomes for enhancing urban communities.
Our research and creative works focus on using technologies for data collection as well as designing interventions that impact and mitigate the challenges of urban living. Products from our research involve using technologies to envision mobility systems for urban environments; historical analysis on places and how to reclaim cities and spaces; placemaking art interventions for more robust and meaningful living in urban areas; virtual and augmented reality for helping operations for developing smart cities, to mention a few. We focus on connectivity, mobility, and resilience to promote infrastructures for safe and thriving urban living.
