Sustainable Cities

Accounting for how masonry ages could sharpen seismic risk models and guide smarter preservation of historical buildings

A mathematical model that balances a household’s need for water and energy could become one of the building blocks of sustainable cities.

An easily forgotten and understudied element of the urban landscape, alleyways provide significant benefits to pedestrians.

Modelling energy supply and demand in different building types highlights how crucial built form and function are to urban sustainability.

Khalifa University is putting the emphasis on water and environment in its latest strategic priorities.

With the steel industry accounting for a significant portion of global CO2 emissions, calculating the technical and economic feasibility of future steel factories with reduced carbon emissions is vital in the transition toward a greener sector.

Researchers at Khalifa University are pioneering applied research and AI tools to integrate renewable energy into national power grids with real-world solutions.

Robotics experts from around the world will gather in Abu Dhabi to discuss the role of robotics in sustainable development at this year’s International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems.
