Profile

My research focuses on the challenges relating to resource consumption and productivity in urban systems in the context of planetary resource capacity and extreme climate change.

Dr Hadi Arbabi


Hadi's work and research interests sit at the interface of data-driven urban analytics and planning. Their overall body of research focuses on the challenges relating to resource consumption and productivity in urban systems often in the context of planetary resource capacity and extreme climate change. Hadi has previously worked on spatially multi-scale examinations of urban systems and the extent to which their performance is influenced by their embedded physical infrastructure. Hadi’s other interests include urban complexity, population scaling and allometry, city morphology and infrastructure planning for agglomeration, network analysis of urban flows, stocks, and metabolism.
