Our Impact
• In�uencing decision-making, policy and improving outcomes • Public sector and industry collaboration: uptake of concepts • Improving the e�ciency of practice and technologies• Stimulating and leading public debate • Engaging the public with research and collaboration• Making research accessible for users to adopt • Identifying pathways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and • Enhancing understanding of, and guiding, sustainable growth.
The signi�cant impact of our multidisciplinary research (in reach and signi�cance) is found in in�uencing practice and improving urban policies, and is tangible in:

Sustainable Resilient CommunitiesRethinking cities for the age of global warming
A Research Cluster at the University of PortsmouthThe Cluster involves over 35 researchers from a wide range of disciplines in impactful, relevant and practical projects to deliver soloutions for better urbanisation, systems thinking for improved e�ciencies, and the evidence base for future policy formulation and better decision making.
The Cluster for Sustainable Cities at the University of Portsmouth is an interdisciplinary research hub working at the interface of sustainable architecture, urban planning, social sciences, ICT and engineering. It contributes to the University’s priority research theme ‘Sustainability & the Environment’ working across traditional disciplinary boundaries. The Cluster for Sustainable Cities is committed to excellence in urban design thinking and
Research Programmecommunication, creating inventive solutions to address the global challenges of urbanism in the 21st century. The CSC seeks to stimulate and deliver the research expertise necessary to develop the new knowledge required in the practice of sustainable urban development for the necessary transformation and regeneration process.

We will develop predictive data, a novel assessment framework and scenario planning for future scenarios for 3 vulnerable sites of waterfront developments in 3 coastal cities in Europe that will inform how future urban development and policy formulation
should respond to the main threat of sea-level rise for coastal cities.The project will develop architectural and urban solutions for this
challenge and establish a multi-model platform connecting social, economic and environmental planning parameters.
