A jointly funded University of Edinburgh and University of Glasgow PhD
studentship is available on the theme of Future Cities.
The student will be co-supervised by both institutions and will spend up to
12 months carrying out two taster projects (one at each university).
Title: "Decision-making for urban planning under demographic uncertainty".
The increasing variability in the demographic composition of urban areas in
Scotland through time makes taking planning decisions a challenge.
Uncertainties such as the size of the population and the movement of people
into urban areas can have huge impacts on the requirements for building and
transport infrastructure in urban environments. This project addresses how
to model this demographic uncertainty and then how to make sensible
decisions for sustainable urban planning that are robust to this
uncertainty. We will consider two key exemplars – school placements and the
development of sustainable transport networks.
