Toward Sustainable Urban Regeneration |
|
| Thomas Daniell |
|
| The Center for Sustainable Urban Regeneration (cSUR) is a thinktank established at the University of Tokyo in 2003. Recognizing that the issues facing contemporary architecture and cities require a cross-disciplinary approach, cSUR is an ambitious, ongoing experiment in integrating the disciplines of urban planning, architecture, civil engineering, and environmental engineering. The work being produced by cSUR is a combination of empirical research and innovative design proposals, all aimed at producing new knowledge and techniques for sustainable urban regeneration. Over the last four years, cSUR has been steadily expanding into a worldwide network of researchers and practitioners, and currently comprises a group of more than one hundred academics, led by Professor Shinichiro Ohgaki of the Graduate School of Engineering at the University of Tokyo. more... |
