Department Summary
The Sustainable Cities Institute (SCI) is an applied think tank focusing on sustainability in cities.

Our work is consistently applied, multi-disciplinary, and sustainability-focused, matching the complexity of cities with the disciplinary expertise to match.

Going beyond these emerging technologies, we explore the possible implications on equity, health and safety, the economy, and the environment to inform decision-making that supports community goals. Urbanism Next brings together experts from a wide range of disciplines including planning, design, development, business, and law and works with the public, private, and academic sectors to help create positive outcomes from the impending changes and challenges confronting our cities.
