About the TMU Material Lab.

The Material Lab is one of the “Safety and Disaster Prevention Filed” group of the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering field in the Graduate School and Faculty of Urban Environmental Sciences, Tokyo Metropolitan University.

Based on observation and analyses, the Graduate School and Faculty of Urban Environmental Sciences clarifies the interactions among 1) the natural environment, 2) humans, 3) materials, 4) energy, 5) information, and 6) man-made structures such as buildings and automobiles, as crucial elements that construct urban environments. The Graduate School and Faculty aims to develop methodologies for predicting, designing, and controlling the interactions and concentration of each element in any space and at any time, and to establish a system of urban environmental sciences that leads to a construction of a sustainable society. The Graduate School and Faculty promotes advanced research on each element as a priority area, not only to solve, but also to discover problems in realizing a sustainable “Mega-City.”
In our research we seek to understand human society and ecosystem, to promote the intelligent use of limited natural resources, and to design sustainable infrastructure systems.
