The annual workshop of the CNRS International Research Network USERS (Urban Science and Engineering for Resilience and Sustainability), USERS-2022, will be held from May 30th till June 1st at the Aix-Marseille School of Engineering on the Campus of Luminy.
The following topics will be covered:
- urban climate (UHI, storms, floods, particulate or gaseous pollution...) and new urban forms
- urban mobility (environmental impact, types of mobility, etc.)
- public health in urban areas (chronic respiratory/infectious diseases, water, etc.)
- the materials of the urban environment (soils, clays, cements, concretes, wood, geopolymers...) and the effort to reduce their carbon footprint and integrate new functionalities
- from sensor networks in urban areas to urban digital twins, etc.
- econometrics, LCA,… urban solutions
- participation of city dwellers in policy-making
The workshop will be an opportunity to present the future CNRS research federation COMPLEX-Cities and to discuss the PEPR program supported by the French government's recovery plan "Sustainable cities and innovative buildings".
