Welcome to LAUDjournal

Welcome to LAUDjournal, where we share stories, insights, and strategies to design climate-resilient, inclusive, and greener spaces. Together, let’s reimagine the possibilities of design for a just and sustainable future.

Greening the Gap

Landscape-based stormwater solutions are explored in Ho Chi Minh City through a community-based adaptation approach. The goal is to offer alternatives to conventional sewer systems, reducing flood risks and improving urban livability and social life.

The urban ecosystem and their crucial role towards more climate adaptable cities

Urban ecosystems are interconnected green spaces that preserve natural functions, supporting biodiversity and enhancing urban livability. They play a crucial role in mitigating climate change and improving the well-being of city dwellers.

A holistic approach to more sustainable cities

Current city infrastructures, designed with outdated technologies, often fail to protect against extreme events and climate hazards. A radical shift towards sustainable, resilient, and equitable cities requires a holistic approach, integrating social and nature-based solutions.
