Sanjay Somanath held his public presentation of his licentiate thesis on “Towards digitalisation of social sustainability: Digital tools for socially sustainable neighbourhood design” on the 3rd of June 2022. Thesis title : Towards digitalisation of social sustainability: Digital tools for socially sustainable neighbourhood design

Digital tools for performance-assessment are commonly used to shorten the feedback loop in testing designs for buildings and neighbourhoods. However, these tools do not extend to the social dimension in the same way as the economic and environmental dimensions. The aim of this project is to develop a theoretical understanding of social sustainability at the neighbourhood planning level and propose a model for the development of digital tools.
