<ul>
<li>The geology of cities</li>
<li>Legacy of the past</li>
<li>Climate change</li>
<li>Megacities</li>
<li>Planning and geohazards</li>
<li>Urban site investigation</li>
<li>Dereliction, pollution and contaminated land</li>
<li>Environmental urban geotechnics</li>
<li>Substructures and underground space</li>
<li>Geodata for the urban environment</li>
