Canada Excellence Research Chair in Smart, Sustainable and Resilient Communities and Cities

下一代城市研究议程的目标是：a)制定可持续城市转型战略，支持城市中可持续城市能源和资源效率措施的决策和更快实施；b)科学监测和优化城区、整个城市和区域的绩效。CERC计划建立在四个相互关联的垂直研究轴线上：1.高效建筑环境的清洁能源系统；2.综合建筑环境设计；3.智能技术和优化的社区运营；以及4.协作社区、知识动员和政策，这些将通过城市平台开发、合并软件和创建的服务的横向任务连接起来。CERC将把建筑、交通、能源、生物多样性和社会经济部门的不同学术学科联系起来，同时将合适的城市利益攸关方聚集在一起讨论城市发展。基于坚实的理论基础，这项研究将转化为可持续城市基础设施的硬件和信息和通信技术解决方案的设计和实施。

The goal of the next generation city research agenda is to: a) develop sustainable urban transformation strategies that will support decision making and faster implementation of sustainable urban energy and resource efficiency measures in the cities, and b) scientifically monitor and optimize performance of urban districts, entire cities and regions. The CERC program is built on four interconnected vertical research axes: 1. Clean Energy Systems for an Efficient Built Environment; 2. Integrated Built Environment Design; 3. Smart Technologies and Optimized Community Operation; and 4. Collaborative Community, Knowledge Mobilization and Policies, which will be connected by a horizontal task of an urban platform development, merging software and services created. The CERC will link different academic disciplines from the building, transport, energy, biodiversity and socio-economic sectors while bringing the right urban stakeholders together to discuss urban development. Based on a sound theoretical basis, the research will be translated into the design and implementation of hardware and ICT solutions for a sustainable city infrastructure.
