Research clusters & groups
Built Environment’s research clusters reflect existing and emergent research strengths within the school and across disciplines.
Built Environment’s research clusters reflect existing and emergent research strengths within the school and across disciplines. Our research priority theme of the design, delivery and management of 21st century cities is reflected in our clusters and groups.
Cluster research projects involve publication ventures, symposia, conferences and exhibitions. Cluster activities, supported by the school, contribute to research programs within the school and beyond. Built Environment research groups bring together research partners and levels of government to address current world issues from future city planning to the impact of the built environment on people living with disabilities.
