It provides science-based expertise in urban planning & design, urban assessment and urban development strategies. It delivers comprehensive advice to United Nations.UNDERSTANDING URBAN COMPLEXITY IS KEYCities are complex self-organized systems with emerging properties and mathematical regularities. The institute models cities as large complex eco-systems. Its cutting-edge methods and algorithms reveal the fundamental links between urban form and the social, economic and environmental performance of cities.URBAN FORM MATTERSThe Urban Morphology Institute provides tools and methods to quantify the impact of urban form on:Energy consumptions and carbon emissionsUrban resilienceTransportation patternsInfrastructure costs and economic productivityLand use & land valueURBAN DESIGN & PLACE MAKINGTo reap the full benefits of transit oriented development, delivering well designed urban forms is key, with walkable neighborhoods around mass transit hubs and nodes, and with a dense mix of housing, retail, offices and other amenities. The Institute develops an innovative approach of urban design and planning that creates vibrant urban environments and high quality public space for people and fosters not only transit, but the most basic modes of transport such as walking and cycling.URBAN DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESThe Urban Morphology Institute designs guidelines and strategies to assist United Nations in meeting their targets in the field of sustainable urban development. It is specialized in integrated strategies deriving the maximum co-benefits from spatial planning. It works closely with IPCC, UN Habitat, UN Environment, and UN International Resource Panel.OUR URBAN SUSTAINABILITY APPROACHOur strength rests upon cutting-edge scientific methods and algorithms that reveal unseen patterns within cities and better inform decision-making processes.Our quantitative approach is a key asset:Providing a science-based understanding of context-specific issues and available options for urban developmentImplementing simulations and scenarios to predict the potential outcomes of today’s decisionsIndentifying tipping points and most powerful levers towards sustainabilityPredicting environmental, economic and social long terms impacts of urban planning decisions, and proposing alternative scenarios-   © copyright 2022.
