People’s demands for buildings are changing with demographic changes. It’s vital to identify which types of buildings are decreasing in demand and which are seeing an increase. This information can guide local governments in shaping development plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repurposing to make sustainable cities and communities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My research focuses on repurposing buildings rather than constructing and demolishing them. This approach could reduce material use, energy consumption, and carbon emissions associated with construction and demolition activities. Such efforts align with Sustainable Development Goal 11, sustainable cities and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding the demand of population groups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Understanding the demands of different population groups for buildings is the starting point of my research. Based on this, I will develop scenarios to project future needs for various building types, considering demographic changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following that analysis, I’ll explore how to repurpose buildings that are less in demand into types that are more in demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
