　　讲座题目：The Role of Environmental Information Science in Sustainable Urban Design Research

　　讲座摘要：Modern challenges require a paradigm shift in how to approach developing solutions. As while disruptive forces such as climate change and population continue to intensify, it is becoming evident that solutions require a systems approach that is integrative, technologically innovative, socially minded, engages the individual, and is cognizant of scale issues. Environmental Information Science (EIS) can be described as a path of inquiry that effectively integrates the creation, collection, processing, modelling, interpretation, and dissemination of information This presentation will demonstrate the role of EIS for such an approach with application to infrastructure design for Low Impact Development. Innovative solutions for mitigating pollution through biological mechanisms within nested, multi-scale systems are proposed for addressing large scale, adverse environmental consequences of urban development and climate.
