Planning and Resilience through Equitable eXperiential Design lab is a research group led by Dr. Saeideh Sobhaninia.  Our work bridges community resilience, environmental justice, sustainable development, and urban design. Through various studies, we have investigated the effects of the built environment on communities and explored strategies to empower those facing environmental disruptions. Our research spans multiple disciplines at the intersection of urbanism and humanities. Currently, our focus is on four interconnected areas:

1. Planning for Hazard Resilience

2. Design for Hazard Resilience

3. Building Social Cohesion for Hazard Resilience and Disaster Recovery

4. Urban Technology
