One of our Senior Research Fellows, Dr Hazel Easthope, was selected by the University as one of UNSW Australia’s rising stars and emerging research leaders . Hazel is recognised for her work on higher density developments, a housing form that is rapidly growing in many Australian cities as well as worldwide. Over the next few years, her current projects will see Hazel explore and discover ways in making these developments more sustainable and livable, both economically and socially. You can read about this on her rising star page, Future Cities . While there, you can also find out the Faculty of Built Environment’s other rising star, Dr Hank Haeusler, and smart cities .
