Intelligent Cities

Electrifying urban systems

In 2011 preliminary work began on a new research project on Intelligent Cities, which will comprise the bulk of the research contributions to the 2012 Urban Age ‘Electric City Conference’ in London.

Cities, Health and well-being

Intra-spatial analysis of health and social indicators

The Cities, health and well-being project was initiated at the beginning of 2011, developing new research that directly informed the 10th Urban Age conference in Hong Kong.

Urban Publics

Revealing the richness of Peckham High Street as space of learning

The Urban Publics project turns explicitly to the city itself as a primary confluence of economies, ideas, and people that offers urban citizens ways of learning about opportunity, innovation, difference, or simply making do and getting by.

Research

LSE Cities is working and expanding on parallel yet intersecting strands of research that cover the following areas:
Cities, Space and Society: urban culture and design; economic development and inclusion; cities, health and well-being
Cities and the Environment: mobility and city access; urban form and resource efficiency; city design and technology
Urban Governance: architecture and democracy; metropolitan and regional cohesion; mega-projects, infrastructure and urban change
