👉 The Vancouver Engineering, often referred to as VE, is a collaborative research initiative that brings together engineers, scientists, and researchers from various disciplines to address complex challenges in urban environments, particularly those related to sustainability, resilience, and smart city technologies. Based at the University of British Columbia's Vancouver Institute for Sustainable Development (VISD), VE focuses on developing innovative solutions for sustainable infrastructure, energy systems, and environmental management in coastal and urban settings. The program emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, integrating expertise from fields such as civil engineering, environmental science, data analytics, and social sciences. By fostering partnerships with industry leaders, government agencies, and local communities, VE aims to translate research findings into practical applications that enhance the quality of life in Vancouver and other cities while promoting environmental stewardship and economic growth.
