Sustainable coastal city development

该项目旨在模拟在人口迅速增长、气候变化和人类活动密集的情况下，低洼沿海城市的可持续发展选择。该项目将以布里斯班（澳大利亚）和宁波（中国）为案例研究，从经验上检验和了解城市如何在个人规模和跨管辖范围内作为人类与其生活环境相互作用的复杂系统而发展。该项目预计将提供对沿海城市发展的空间清晰理解，并提供基于科学的决策工具，以改善决策。

This project aims to model sustainable development options of low-lying coastal cities under rapid population growth, climate change and intensive human activity. Using Brisbane (Australia) and Ningbo (China) as case studies, the project will empirically test and understand how cities grow as complex systems built out of the interactions between humans and their living environment at the individual scale and in a cross-jurisdictional context. The project expects to offer a spatially explicit understanding of the development of coastal cities and science-based decision tools to improve policy-making.
