Nowadays, the collaboration of the various stakeholders is one of the very important key point for sustainable development in urban design and planning field. A university needs to join this collaboration to scientifically analyze, evaluate and suggest the design process of the urban place. The cultural, social identity and all the infrastructures in urban places are need to be designed with the academic experts. A laboratory will practically join this collaboration process with the engineering analysis tools by integrating the research methods of statistics, social science and geo informational system tools.
Research targeting area will be especially focus on the cities, urban districts and settlements in Japan.
