The research laboratory on Resilient and Inclusive cities at ASE addresses important challenges related to rapid urbanization and climate change in Asia-Pacific. It focuses on understanding and modelling the benefits of nature-based solutions – e.g. urban parks or peri-urban forests, road trees, green roofs – in the region to inform policy and practice, and create more resilient and inclusive cities. The program builds upon an interdisciplinary approach, combining geospatial modeling of urban environments and empirical studies of urban practice.
The laboratory is currently looking for a Research Associate to support ongoing and future research projects. The main objective of the research is to examine the potential of nature-based solutions to improve resilience in Singapore and regional case studies. Active research topics include: The value of vacant land in Singapore, Ecosystem services provided by high-rise greenery in Singapore, Use of Serious Games for implementation of nature-based solutions.
