"MOMBASA - Mobility, Microclimate, Buildings, and Social Aspects of Urban Densification";
Bericht für WWTF - Vienna Science and Technology Fund; Berichts-Nr. Research Proposal, 2017; 12 S.

(no german version) The proposed research project MOMBASA focuses on the different aspects of Urban Densification. Given
the expected rise in population in cities in the upcoming years and decades, municipalities face a number of
complex issues, which not only relate to organizational aspects of densification, but require also the input
from a wide range of disciplines such as building science, sociology, technology impact assessment,
infrastructure & traffic planning, and others. While decisions related to city development are both cost
intensive and high impact, few comprehensive and structured impact prediction tools are available. To
address this challenge, the proposed effort addresses fundamental research objectives related to urban
densification. These encompass method development for parametric studies and impact assessment
regarding building-related, traffic-related, and socio-cultural aspects of urban densification. The complexity
of urban structures and the multiplicity of data streams related with city development demand the utilization
of state-of-the-art methods in the mentioned disciplines and in information & communication technology.
