Our current research looks at urban regeneration in different settings, including cities stressed by climate change or natural and manmade disasters. We are also studying how to make urban morphology and its offshoots, urban acupuncture and tactical urbanism, actionable in urban regeneration using artificial intelligence. Our collaborators are Elham K. Hassani, Ph.D., an expert in resilient urban regeneration in modern, historic, traditional, and mixed contexts, based at Sapienza University of Rome, and an Associate Editor of Built Form, a new international journal on urban regeneration.; and Rockne S. Hanish, M.Arch. an Instructor at Arizona State University and a practicing designer-planner in Phoenix. Hassani and Hanish share an interest in desert urbanism’s unique problems of summer heat spikes and chronic water shortages.
