Human Security Crisis in Megacities
 Explosion of urban population
 Great threats to the security of megacities• Increase of environmental pollution• Increase of disaster risks• Increase of economic inequality
 Interrelation of these threats Lack of a systematic framework and human resource
development system to handle these problems

Necessity of an engineering to combine engineeringwith urban administrative management and to createcomprehensive systems in order to deal with thesehuman security problems.
Human Security Engineering3What is the "Human Security Engineering "?
 A system of technologies for urban
management for inhabitants to live
in better hygienic and healthenvironment and to live free fromthe threats of large-scale disasters
and environmental pollution.
 Based on the following four coreacademic fields:• Urban governance• Urban infrastructure
management• Health risk management• Disaster risk management
4Mission of HSE Education program
Fostering researchers and engineers with creativity,internationality and independence who will have ability tointegrate and apply the knowledge toward ensuring urban humansecurity.
Creativity: the ability to go beyond the boundaries of the existing
specialized fields.
Internationality: the ability to present and debate research findings inEnglish, conduct education and research activity in foreign countries,
ability to build international human networks.
Independence: the ability to plan research, provide leadership in education
and research, ability to secure research funds, and problem-solving
ability in the field.

HSE students are provided education programs to acquire aboveabilities.
