EVENT INFORMATION 28 October 2024, 12:00 - 14:00 (UK time) / 20:00 – 22:00 (China Time) This event is free and open to all. Where: online (register using the link below) Zoom registration link Cities are faced with significant threats from natural hazards, necessitating the enhancement of urban resilience. However, as urban systems grow increasingly complex, these hazards not only cause casualties and direct damage to physical elements such as buildings and infrastructures but also trigger cascading failures within engineering systems and extend impacts to social dimensions like healthcare and human mobility. This talk will discuss our people-centric and data-driven approaches to examining urban systems and their resilience issues. By conceptualizing a city as “a system of systems under trio-spaces”, it proposes a cross-system and cross-dimension approach based on scenario deduction to analysing urban resilience. Computing models are employed to capture the dynamics of residents’ needs as well as urban functionality in the aftermath of natural hazards, which contributes to determining key infrastructure to protect and optimally allocating the limited resources to various systems in the city. This talk will also feature our latest work in understanding, modelling and predicting people’s multi-scale complex spatial behaviours in response to extreme events such as fires and typhoons. Case studies will be provided to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approaches to analysing urban resilience. SPEAKERS DR. DONGPING FANG Tsinghua University Dr. Dongping Fang is the Dean and Professor of the School of Civil Engineering at Tsinghua University. He also serves as the Deputy Director of Tsinghua Institute for Future Cities and Infrastructures. Prof. Fang specialises in construction safety and urban resilience. He developed a cognition-based Leadership-Culture-Behaviour (LCB) approach for construction safety and a Trio-Space Framework (Physical-Societal-Cyber) for urban resilience. Professor Fang has authored over 200 papers in peer-reviewed academic journals and has been recognized as a Highly Cited Chinese Researcher by Elsevier for ten consecutive years. He has been invited as keynote speakers at more than 50 international conferences. From 2013 to 2016, he was the Vice President of the International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction (CIB), and he currently serves as a member of the board and its program committee. He also serves as Co-President of the International Consortium of Construction Engineering and Project Management (ICCEPM) and Vice Chair of the Specialists Committee of the China Construction Industry Association. DR. NAN LI Tsinghua University Dr. Nan Li is Associate Professor and Assistant Dean at the Department of Construction Management, School of Civil Engineering, Tsinghua University. He is also Director of the Institute of Sustainable Urbanization at Tsinghua. Dr. Li’s research focuses on understanding and improving the resilience of the built environments, including buildings, infrastructure systems and humans whose needs they serve, by extensive applications of advanced informatics and computational approaches. His research has produced over 100 academic publications, which have received over 6500 citations. Dr. Li currently serves as associate editor of Advanced Engineering Informatics and Journal of Management in Engineering, and editorial board member of several other leading journals. He is also a board member of the International Association for Automation and Robotics in Construction (IAARC). In addition, Dr. Li was recognized by Forbes China’s “30 Under 30” list, MIT Technology Review’s “35 Innovators Under 35 in China” list, and Elsevier’s Highly Cited Chinese Researchers list.
