Systemic Modeling and Simulation of Urban Dynamics. Seminar

2024

Abstract

In collaboration with the HERUS Laboratory (EPFL), EMPA (Switzerland), and STEEP (France), this seminar explores advanced methods for modeling and simulating the complex interactions between environmental, economic, and social factors in cities. Organized with STEEP-INRIA, the seminar provides an interdisciplinary platform for researchers and practitioners to engage with systemic approaches to urban sustainability.

Participants will delve into modeling frameworks, simulation techniques, and case studies that illustrate how cities function as dynamic socio-metabolic systems. Discussions will cover topics such as resource flows, economic resilience, and social equity, highlighting the role of computational tools in decision-making for sustainable urban development.

Through expert presentations, interactive discussions, and collaborative exercises, attendees will gain insights into the latest advancements in urban systems modeling and explore innovative approaches for addressing sustainability challenges in cities.

Sustainable urbanism

Sustainable urbanism is both the study of cities and the practices to build them (urbanism), that focuses on promoting their long term viability by reducing consumption, waste and harmful impacts on people and place while enhancing the overall well-being of both people and place. Well-being includes the physical, ecological, economic, social, health and equity factors, among others, that comprise cities and their populations.

Sustainable city

The sustainable city, eco-city, or green city is a city designed with consideration for social, economic, environmental impact (commonly referred to as the triple bottom line), and resilient habitat for existing populations, without compromising the ability of future generations to experience the same. The UN Sustainable Development Goal 11 defines sustainable cities as those that are dedicated to achieving green sustainability, social sustainability and economic sustainability.

Sustainability

Sustainability is a social goal for people to co-exist on Earth over a long time. Specific definitions of this term are disputed and have varied with literature, context, and time. Experts often describe sustainability as having three dimensions (or pillars): environmental, economic, and social, and many publications emphasize the environmental dimension. In everyday use, sustainability often focuses on countering major environmental problems, including climate change, loss of biodiversity, loss of ecosystem services, land degradation, and air and water pollution.
