Design and Decision Support Systems (DDSS)
Recognizing that the structures and functions constituting the city interact with each other and with the users, integrated and human-centered solutions to urban and transport planning as well as real estate management are needed. Using a system’s approach, the objective of the DDSS research program is to conduct innovative and groundbreaking research, to develop and apply models and systems that allow planners and managers often in co-creation with users to address the major challenges cities are facing to create healthy living environments for users and attain sustainability objectives.
