Methods and Techniques in Urban Engineering
Several countries present a series of urban problems, such as: dwelling deficit, infrastructure
problems, inefficient services, environmental pollution, etc. Urban Engineering searches
solution for these problems, by using a conjoined system of planning, management and
technology.
Many researches are related to application of instruments, methodologies and tools for
monitoring and acquisition of data, based on the factual experience and computational
modelling. Some subjects of study are: urban automation; geographic information systems
(GIS); analysis, monitoring and management of urban noise, floods and transports;
information technology applied to the cities; tools for urban simulation, social monitoring
and control of urban policies; sustainability; etc....
