University Canada West hosts Urban Resiliency and Sustainability Alliance forum

University Canada West recently hosted a forum titled ‘Urban Sustainability for Socio-economic Resilience in Vancouver’, which brought together industry liaisons to give feedback on research conducted by the Urban Resiliency and Sustainability Alliance (URSA).
Founded by UCW faculty members, URSA is an initiative for collaborative research dedicated to advancing research in urban resilience and sustainability. The alliance has expanded to include partners across Canada and Europe.
The alliance strategically addresses the multi-faceted challenges of urbanisation through a scientifically grounded, systemic approach. In a departure from conventional research methodologies, URSA has embraced a comprehensive, network-centric lens, recognising the dynamics inherent in urban environments.
