Achievement

This IGERT project developed an interdisciplinary framework for study of sustainable cities using a social - ecological - infrastructural systems (SEIS) framework. The framework connects theories from engineering, urban planning, environmental sciences, public health and public affairs providing board-based interdisciplinary education. This framework was published in the Journal of Industrial Ecology.
