Research Strategy
Trinity College Dublin recognises that selecting proven research strengths in core priority areas on which to build will achieve the goal of delivering research of consequence and recognition as a world reference point in such areas over time
Research Themes
The urban population is expected to increase from 3.6 billion people in 2011 to 6.3 billion in 2050.
500 Cities with populations of +1 million will be joined by 200 more in 20 Years
Leakage rates of 50% are not uncommon in urban water distribution systems
Cities consume two thirds of the World’s energy and contribute to 70% of its
greenhouse gas emissions
On average, larger Cities produce more wealth and innovation per capita than smaller
ones.

FutureCities - Research
• Smart infrastructure: management of urban-scale critical infrastructure
• Smart transportation: improving the reliability and safety of road transportation
• Smart urban-scale sensing: middleware and communications architectures to allow data from both public and user-contributed sensors to be exploited by cities
• Smart services: middleware for adaptable software services
