With combined efforts from water management, architectural and hydraulic engineering students, an interdisciplinary and resilient design is set up for the Paraná Delta. The design relates to all the current environmental, architectural and flood risk challenges - among others, as well as the potential issues in the future since the Paraná Delta is a highly dynamic environment.

Quantifying and mapping urban diversity is a newly emerging field of research. In this present thesis, I build on past and ongoing research. I expand diversity mapping to the mapping of commuter diversity. In particular, I map commuter diversity in New York City as a case study, and I demonstrate that areas with tall buildings are the most diverse. In addition, I suggest that commuter diversity correlates with urban diversity more broadly, which may be useful in the study of diversity where commuter data is most easily available. My thesis comes with a GitHub page that provides data and code and makes it easy for anyone interested to replicate the results.
