Shanghai, China — September 2025
Professor Stergios-Aristoteles Mitoulis, Professor at University College London (UCL), The Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction, delivered an invited lecture at Tongji University, Department of Geotechnical Engineering.
The lecture, titled “Sustained Resilience: Framing the Integration of Resilience and Sustainability in the Built Environment”, introduced the concept of sustained resilience as a lifecycle-oriented framework that bridges short-term resilience with long-term sustainability.
Professor Mitoulis delivered seven pathways — from deterioration and breakdown to proactive advancement and regulatory uplift — showing how cities and infrastructure can not only withstand disruptions but also learn, adapt, and evolve.
He expressed his gratitude to Professor Zhongkai Huang for the kind invitation and inspiring discussions, and to colleagues and students for their enthusiastic engagement and insightful questions.
This lecture reflects Professor Mitoulis’s ongoing contributions to advancing knowledge at the intersection of resilience, sustainability, and infrastructure digitalisation, aligned with the mission of MetaInfrastructure.
