Dr Jennifer Schooling, Director of the Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction at Cambridge University recently participated in the UTS Zunz 2022 lecture on ‘Resetting our cities: A new balance for a low-carbon world’.
As part of the annual lecture series hosted by ARUP, this year’s UTS Zunz convened several thought leaders and industry experts, including Ainsley Simpson, Infrastructure Sustainability Council’s CEO, to focus on the challenges that our cities are facing from the global pandemic to the intensifying impacts of climate change and the pressing need to rethink urban spaces and how they will provide a resilient and sustainable future.
Digital tools provide great opportunities to improve and expand decision making processes, as long as we do so in Dr Jennifer Schooling, Director CSIC
a way that engages our communities rather than does-to-them. Indeed, they can make all the difference
Dr Schooling’s contribution calls for the importance of responsible digitalisation in the urban built environment to enhance public value: “Digital tools provide great opportunities to improve and expand decision making processes, as long as we do so in a way that engages our communities rather than does-to-them. Indeed, they can make all the difference”.
The Zunz lecture series, established in 2001, explores broad community issues relating to engineering and information technology.
