Join us at this Urban Development Institute of New Zealand (UDINZ) 'Innovation in Housing: Thinking that's outside the box' webinar where we'll hear from Dr Mitchell Anderson on Managing Climate & Natural Hazard Risks using Data & Technology.

We're no strangers in Aotearoa to managing natural hazards. However, the change in frequency and intensity has seen the growth of new methods, data, and technologies to assess and operationalise physical risk management.

This session will cover some recent research and technology advancements being used by Urban Intelligence, an innovative research and software start-up based in Ōtautahi Christchurch to assess direct and indirect risk within our urban (and rural) environments.

At Urban Intelligence, Mitchell drives initiatives that empower communities, organisations, and iwi to make informed choices.
His work centres on:

• Developing advanced tools for risk identification and adaptation planning
• Collaborating with local councils to implement data-driven solutions
• Pioneering approaches that integrate social vulnerability and infrastructure networks

Mitchell's expertise in spatial risk analysis for climate change and natural hazards has led to innovative methodologies bridging research and real-world application.
He focuses on:

• Enhancing decision-making across all value domains
• Improving understanding of social and infrastructure system interdependencies
• Advancing strategies for building resilient communities
