Research topics
In the global context of increasing consumption of water, energy, resources and global changes (climate, urbanism, population...), the development of sustainable cities is a critical concern.
With numerous interactions with society and institutional and scientific partners, Leesu wants to contribute to the development of urban systems with low environmental footprints.
Research themes 2019-2024
Scientific organisation for 2019 to 2024 in 3 thematic fields
Innovations for the sustainable management of water and of the city
The goal of this research theme is to analyze sociotechnical innovations related to urban water and sanitation management and the associated sectors; and to evaluate their performances, optimize their operation, characterize the conditions and impacts of their potential use
Functioning, resilience and adaptation of urban water management
This research theme will study the impact of global changes, the resilience and adaptation of urban systems, through a systemic approach of the continuum socio-technique/sector/global system to evaluate at the urban scale the effect of various scenarios of change and the impacts of a deployment of technical solutions and practices
Ecosystems and natural resources
This research theme will study anthropic pressures and impacts on the environment by developing new indicators of health and environmental impacts on water resources. The approach associating «physical dynamics» and «ecological dynamics» that was developed for urban lakes will be extended to other environmental bodies such as rivers, drainage water and soils.
Key topics and programs
