Environmental management includes identifying and analysing problems associated with water, air and soil pollution, soil erosion, landfills and depletion of natural resources. It also includes regional and urban planning and the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). The sustainable solutions that this research group focuses on include providing sustainable pragmatic solutions to all environmental problems and the utilisation of green infrastructure, urban design and regeneration techniques.

Our main focus is to identify, analyse and provide sustainable pragmatic solutions to all the environmental problems to the industry and society, from the individual level to the community level
