The Centre for Studies in Urban Sustainability (CSUS), is recognised by the University of Hong Kong as an Area of Research Excellence.

  • Highly experienced staff work within the research facilities of the Departments of Architecture, Real Estate and Construction and the Centre of Urban Planning and Environmental Management (CUPEM).

They also hold editorial board memberships on international journals, presidencies and memberships of international professional societies.

  • CSUS aims to make a fundamental contribution to the development and management of sustainable cities.

  • CSUS produces extensive research and many publications, some jointly with overseas universities - this has led to a high international standing for the Centre.

  • New projects planned include a series of review papers on sustainable urban development issues in the Asia-Pacific Region, country and specific city reports, policy position papers relating to specific sectors such as housing, transport, energy and the environment.
