Future Cities Lab Global • Exhibition FCLG Conference 2023

Adaptive Mobility, Infrastructure and Land Use: Conference 2023

The Adaptive Mobility, Infrastructure and Land-use module [AMIL], started in January 2023, envisions to improve infrastructure planning processes to better and faster meet the needs of stakeholders (e.g., carbon neutrality, 45-Minute City by 2050).

Agropolitan Territories of Monsoon Asia: Conference 2023

We are investigating the various types of AGURA that are emerging in Monsoon Asia, where they are concentrated. We consider the potential of these areas to address the overarching challenges of urbanisation and agricultural intensification. We adopt the term ‘agropolitan’ to signal the ideal mix of conditions that would serve that goal.

Architectural Cognition in Practice: Conference 2023

Cognitive science research methods, including behavioural experiments, psychophysiological measurements, eye-tracking and agent modelling, can provide valuable insights. They can inform designers in planning urban and architectural interventions to enhance the wellbeing and comfort of urban populations.

Circular Future Cities: Conference 2023

The need for decentralized information management practices to enable a circular economy is becoming increasingly evident. Building material stock is a crucial inventory of secondary resources which contain comprehensive information for analyzing the potential of material reuse and urban harvesting.

Comparative Ecology of Cities: Conference 2023

CEC investigates relationships between urban patterns and urban functions in the domains of biodiversity, climate & energy, hydrology, socio-economics, and public health across cities.

Dense and Green Cities: Conference 2023

Contemporary urban planning and design practice is increasingly exploring the development of sustainable integrated districts (SIDs) as a model for high-density high-liveability future cities. SIDs aim to fully realise the potential of urban innovations and systems solutions by deploying and integrating them at the district scale. Density and sustainability in SIDs are seen as mutually dependent and synergistic.

Engagement Platform: Conference 2023

Future Cities Laboratory Global started in December 2020 with the unexpected challange to bring together in the middle of the COVID19 pandemic two research hubs separated by 13’000km, 13 different research modules with a variety of approaches, methods and case studies and a diverse community of researchers.

New Agendas under Planetary Urbanisation: Conference 2023

Drawing from case-study regions in Asia and Europe and specific sites within the Zurich region, the project aims at better understanding processes of extended urbanisation in agricultural territories.

Powering the City: Conference 2023

Interdisciplinary research activities of the POW module spanning expertise from engineering to social sciences, from physics to economics, from Zurich to Singapore, for now and the future. The four major themes “Life Cycle”, “Energy Design”, “Mobility”, and “Socioeconomics” are respectively introduced on this exhibition stand.

Resilient Blue-Green Infrastructures: Conference 2023

Our module aims to design landscapes for resilient and sustainable cities harnessing the potential of blue-green infrastructures. We use point-cloud models for the precise documentation of critical infrastructures like the complex irrigation and drainage systems of Antananarivo.

Resource-Efficient Urban Intensification: Conference 2023

Clustering of urban functions can foster spatial interactions. We aim to develop a quantitative theory of urban design and study places of social gathering in Singapore and Zürich and derive the key planning and design attributes.

Semantic Urban Elements: Conference 2023

Our proposed approach is, focusing on a topical coupling towards an integration of both evidence-based design and design-based evidence principles. Similar to Design and Science, the concept of Semantic Urban Elements is a process and the outcome of that process.

The Sea-City Interface: Conference 2023

The Sea-City Interface project focuses on mitigating climate impacts at the sea-city fringes in rapidly urbanising cities in tropical Asia.

Urban Biocycles Mycelium Digitalisation: Conference 2023

In nature, mycelium fosters organic matter decomposition and mushroom growth. In technology, it serves as an eco-friendly bio-binder for low-embodied-energy bio-composites. Its dual role as a binder and degrader in mycelium-bound composites (MBC) may enable a sustainable, resource-borrowing approach to circular construction.
