Our research on sustainability addresses aspects of environmental, social and economic sustainability - from the psychology of pro-environmental behaviour to smart cities to sustainable development.
Overview
The School'sÌýsustainability research theme cuts across all areas of our research. The term ‘sustainability’ encompasses a broad range of topics relating to environmental, social and economic objectives.
Research interests within this theme are similarly broad, and include sustainable behaviour, climate change economics, building information modelling (BIM), sustainable cities and the . We apply a variety of disciplinary perspectives to sustainability-related questions including environmental psychology, management, economics and construction research.
