Virtual reality for planning of green urban water infrastructure

本项目旨在研究对水敏感的城市设计(WSUD)基础设施的规划-技术-社会动态。由于主要的城市发展和WSUD资产的快速吸收，WSUD的管理在财务和物流方面已经变得不可持续。然而，解决这个问题是复杂的，因为利益相关者有相互冲突的需求和难以量化的默示知识。利用新兴的虚拟现实技术、参与式规划和业务模型，该项目打算通过综合建模来改进世界可持续发展大会的建模科学。预期的结果是对未来城市的WSUD布局进行更全面、更经济高效的规划。预计这将解决人们对充分管理这些系统日益增长的担忧，并确保它们提供预期的环境保护、宜居性和公共卫生效益。

This project aims to research the planning-technical-social dynamics of Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) infrastructure. WSUD management has become financially and logistically unsustainable due to major urban growth and a rapid uptake in WSUD assets. Solving this problem is, however, complex, as stakeholders have conflicting needs and tacit knowledge that is difficult to quantify. Using emerging virtual reality technology, participatory planning and operational models, this project intends to improve WSUD modelling science through integrated modelling. The anticipated outcome is more holistic and economically efficient planning of WSUD layouts in future cities. This is expected to address growing concerns about adequately managing these systems and ensure that they deliver intended environmental protection, liveability and public health benefits.
