Sergio Porta

Professor Sergio Porta is affiliated with the Department of Architecture at the University of Strathclyde, specializing in urban morphology and design. His research employs computational methods to analyze urban form and its relationship to social, economic, and environmental outcomes.

Research interests include developing quantitative morphometric frameworks for urban analysis, sustainable city design, and evidence-based planning. Key focus areas are spatial networks, neighborhood typologies, and resilience modeling through interdisciplinary approaches combining architecture, data science, and social sciences.

Recent publications demonstrate strong trends in geo-spatial analysis of urban systems, including studies on pandemic spread patterns, socio-spatial segregation metrics, and sustainable mobility frameworks. Works consistently integrate advanced computational methods with practical urban design applications across global contexts.

Professor Porta leads collaborative projects including the Urban Form Resilience initiative and directs doctoral training in built environment futures. His research unit focuses on developing computational tools for urban taxonomy development and design optimization.
