The Opportunity
• Exciting interdisciplinary, action-oriented project
MADA in collaboration with the Monash Sustainable Development Institute, other Monash Faculties, Stanford and Emory Universities in the United States is leading a 5-year interdisciplinary research project funded by the UK-based philanthropic group The Wellcome Trust and the Asian Development Bank. The Project will undertake water sensitive revitalisation of 26 urban slums across Indonesia and Fiji by bringing together researchers from architecture, medicine, engineering, urban design, science and social science disciplines, as well as a range of national and international industry and NGO partners. The project, titled Revitalising Informal Settlements and their Environments (RISE), will deploy a novel water-sensitive revitalisation approach and examine its environmental and human health benefits. This approach to slum revitalisation addresses the entire water cycle using decentralised, nature-based green infrastructure and housing improvements to bolster resilience and provide safe water, sanitation, flood protection and environmental stewardship. The project team will work closely with local communities to develop the research, design, delivery and building of local capabilities of this revitalisation approach.
