Organised by: Future Cities Laboratory at The Singapore-ETH Centre

The Future Cities Laboratory (FCL) launches an ambitious vision to create a global research network focused on “Transformative Research for Future Cities”, and invites you to help shape it at this symposium. The unprecedented scale and complexity of urbanization calls for deeper and broader collaboration between scientists, planners, designers, artists and city makers in government, industry and civil society. Building on foundations established by FCL in Singapore and ETH Zurich in Europe, the network we envision will generate new paradigms for sustainable future cities. The symposium will showcase examples of cutting-edge transformative research on high density and building more responsive and inclusive cities, describe the vision, and provide an opportunity to enrich it.

Organised by: Cooling Singapore, Singapore-ETH Centre

Singapore is warmer than it has to be – by as much as 7˚C in some places. This is due to the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, a well-known man-made phenomenon affecting large and densely populated cities. The Cooling Singapore team will present a UHI mitigation roadmap to guide policy and help coordinate long-term UHI mitigation efforts and R&D activities. The research is conducted by a multi-disciplinary team led by the Singapore-ETH Centre in collaboration with colleagues from NUS, SMART, and TUM CREATE. The team will share their experience in gathering inputs from government, the research community, and private sector in developing the roadmap, and present findings from the project.

Date: 10 July 2018 (Open – Registration Required)

The session’s discussion leaders have participated as panellists on these projects, and will share lessons learnt, best practices from each project, and the impact the Advisory Services Programme has had across all communities.
