About iAdapt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

iAdapt is an interdisciplinary research center at the University of Florida focused on urban planning AI, urban mobility, and climate adaptation. Our research examines how AI can support and automate parts of the planning and decision-making process, how emerging mobility technologies are reshaping cities, and how communities can become more resilient to climate change. We bring together scholars, practitioners, and students to develop new methods, tools, and knowledge for resilient, sustainable communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What We Do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

1. Advance Planning Theory and Technology<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Our research advances planning theory by developing new frameworks and methods for understanding and responding to changes in the built and natural environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

2. Educate Future Planners and Researchers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We mentor Ph.D., master’s, and undergraduate students through hands-on research projects, cultivating the next generation of planners and researchers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

3. Serve Communities and Policymakers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We partner with local governments, agencies, and coastal communities, providing research, data, and planning guidance that help them build more resilient communities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
