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）制定可持续的城市转型战略，以支持决策和更快地实施城市可持续能源和资源效率措施，以及B）科学地监测和优化城市地区，整个城市和地区的绩效。CERC计划建立在四个相互关联的垂直研究轴上：1。清洁能源系统为一个高效的建筑环境; 2。综合环境设计; 3。智能技术和优化社区运营; 4.协作社区，知识动员和政策，这将通过城市平台开发的横向任务连接起来，合并创建的软件和服务。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科联系起来，同时将合适的城市利益相关者聚集在一起讨论城市发展。基于良好的理论基础，研究将转化为硬件和ICT解决方案的设计和实施，以实现可持续的城市基础设施。

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.
