Exploring and Modeling Future Human–Nature Relations and Urban Transformation Scenarios within the EUI GOCCIA Project - 2026_IDR_DASTU_2

Position: Research appointment (pre-doc) Institute: Polytechnic of Milano
Posted on: 19/02/2026 Deadline: 31/03/2026

Scientific-Disciplinary Group

08/CEAR-12 - Urban And Landscape Planning And Design

Description

This research activity focuses on exploring long-term human–nature interactions under different planning, policy, and management scenarios. The work integrates social, ecological, and environmental data to model and simulate how humans, biodiversity, and the urban environment co-evolve over time, with a particular emphasis on uncertainty, multispecies coexistence, and future-oriented decision-making. The activity combines quantitative data (e.g., GIS, remote sensing, sensors) with qualitative inputs from co-creation and long-term monitoring to model behavioral patterns rather than precise predictions. The resulting modeling and simulation framework supports scenario exploration, policy evaluation, and adaptive planning at the neighborhood scale.
