Dr Simone Z Leao is an Adjunct Senior Lecturer in City Analytics at the City Futures Research Centre, Faculty of Built Environment. Interested in the interdependencies between built environment, society and technology, she works on developing knowledge and methodologies to assist urban planning to generate/regenerate urban areas and with awareness of contemporary challenges. Her research explores forms of using data and applying analytics in the domain of smart cities to promote sustainable and equitable development and improve quality of urban life. She teaches in the Master of city Analytics.
