Patrick's research looks at how we can best plan our cities despite the significant uncertainty in future conditions. While urban planning has always dealt with uncertainties such as population growth and the economic environment, the advent of climate change has added a new layer of uncertainty. This has rendered traditional planning approaches obsolete, requiring a set of new sophisticated approaches. Patrick works closely with councils to provide actionable advice on best practice adaptation planning.
