Overview
The research topics of the team are: (1) builtenvironment, urban and regional planning; (2)community development, economic revitalization, reuse and restoration, urban and ruralsettlement assessment; (3) heritage conservationin urban planning and historical landscapesand parks; (4) revitalization of brownfields; (5)examination of historical buildings; (6) construction materials, indoor climate, aspects of building physics and energy efficiency; (7) possibilities toproduce recycled aggregate concrete, (8) cyberphysical systems for buildings and urban andregional planning.These issues are topical in the field of urbanplanning and help to solve problems with theimplementation of cyber-physics systems inconstruction, industry and other fields of life.
