Description
The School encompasses research, advisory work and teaching across the fields of the built environment. Its Centre for the Integrated Delivery of the Built Environment (IDoBE) is led by academics with expertise in construction, property, and surveying. The Centre’s research builds on construction project management and economics, quantity surveying, building surveying, real estate, and architectural technology. The Centre’s approach is to leverage knowledge from multidisciplinary partners to support the delivery of high impact and sustainable solutions to the biggest challenges facing the built environment.
The School has won awards for both teaching and learning, and research. It benefits greatly from the strong relationships with academic institutions in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
Suggested Collaboration Opportunities
Specific hubs of Habitat UNI for possible engagement include: Climate Change, Urban Regeneration, Informal Urbanism. A new hub on Infrastructure could also be considered.
The School aims to explore synergies of active collaboration with UN-Habitat and academic institutions to forward research and action related to the aforementioned hubs, promoting education, policy advice and professional development which are updated to current realities.
