Connecting Environment, Technology, and Society: Decision Support Tools for Built Environments II Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 32099

Session Description:
The nature of the built environment alters water, energy, carbon, and nutrient flows at local and regional scales, making it an arbiter of sustainability and resilience. Linked and interacting environmental, social, and technical processes determine the sustainability and resilience outcomes in built environments. The complexity and interdisciplinarity of these problems pose challenges for management, planning, and decision making. Yet recent approaches to address the built environment from transdicsiplinary perspectives, including social-ecological, coupled human-natural, sociohydrology, sociotechnical, socio-eco-technical, and social-ecological-infrastructural systems approaches, hold promise for a science-informed decision making for the built environment. This session focuses on development and application of decision-support tools and frameworks that draw on these interdisciplinary approaches to solve environmental challenges in the built environment. We invite contributions that explore this question across disciplinary boundaries. Various themes and issues, including urban water resilience, green infrastructure, ecosystem services, renewable energy production, life cycle analysis, etc. are welcome.
