CDM Smith Neysadurai Centre for Integrated Water Resources and Urban Planning
Providing clients with sophisticated and integrated solutions for their sustainable urban planning and design challenges.
The CDM Smith Neysadurai Centre for Integrated Water Resources and Urban Planning provides clients with sophisticated and integrated solutions for their sustainable urban planning and design challenges. Using advanced decision-support simulation models, geographic information systems, and efficient water management practices, CDM Smith is helping urban communities achieve environmental quality and economic vitality.
Dynamic Systems Modeling of Urban Developments
Systems modeling offers a high-level view of the physical, social, economic, and environmental interactions in urban settings and provides insights into the planning and design needs for cities of the future. This approach to creating sustainable ecosystems is:
- Integrated: The systems modeling framework offers an opportunity for CDM Smith experts across many disciplines—water, energy, environment, and planning—to collaborate on an integrated analysis of interlocking urban systems.
- Quantitative: During the systems modeling process, important elements of the urban center will be quantitatively modeled to simulate system performance—which is then measured against well-defined sustainability objectives.
- Comprehensive: A holistic view of urban sustainability can be achieved through systems modeling. Specific stakeholder objectives, key resource opportunities, potential sustainable design features, and innovative technologies can all be considered through this process.
Located in Singapore, the centre acts as a technology showroom, development laboratory, advocacy hub, and simulation workshop to develop integrated urban solutions for clients around the world.
