A new era for city planning? Innovations and barriers to digitalisation for spatial planning in the UK
Franziska is Lecturer for Planning and Housing in the Department of Land Economy. She was Lead Researcher on the Centre for Digital Built Britain's Early Career Project "Future cities in the making – overcoming barriers to information modelling in socially responsible cities." Her talk covers an overview of the barriers local authorities face in making use of digital techniques for planning based on three case studies. She further outlines strategies to develop multi-level policy responses.
Andrè Neto-Bradley, University of Cambridge
Targeting interventions for clean energy transitions in urban Indian households
André is a PhD Student in the FIBE CDT in the Department of Engineering, and is part of the interdisciplinary Global Energy Nexus in Urban Settlements (GENUS) group. He studies the role of socio-cultural and economic drivers of clean energy
transitions in urban households in India, and the use of data driven approaches to target relevant policy interventions. The talk will cover how different energy transition pathways followed by households and neighbourhoods in Bangalore can be characterised using unsupervised machine learning methods, and how this could be used by policy makers and urban planners to tailor and target clean energy policies in the rapidly growing cities.
There will be a sandwich lunch provided from 12:45pm and the opportunity to ask the speakers questions after the presentations.
