Civic Resilience Laboratory

We investigate the intersection of civic resilience, community organisation, and the politics of urban development by observing, engaging, and experimenting with civic technologies for resilient and inclusive urban futures.

Through partnerships with non-governmental organisations and local communities, we aim to examine how civic engagement through technology and other vehicles is implemented in Southeast Asia, document these emerging practices, and study the new politics of engagement that they generate.
