About

This group explores holistic actions to address the many drivers of urban disaster risk worldwide, while simultaneously addressing environmental sustainability and social equity challenges. Specifically, this IRT will converge and leverage new developments and world-class expertise in disaster resilience, sustainable design, and social justice across engineering and the CU Boulder campus to facilitate a paradigm shift in research and education related to engineering urban resilience. Combining these three themes is unprecedented and puts the group in a unique position globally.
