Urbanization is one of the most powerful
phenomena influencing global sustainability prospects today. The
convergence of economic growth, population growth, and urban
expansion offers both great challenges and great potential for
realizing metropolitan sustainability. Perhaps nowhere are these
challenges more dominant than in the rapidly growing cities of the
developing world. AGS projects are investigating integrated
management of the megacities. Ongoing work in projects on mobility,
water, and energy also focus on meeting needs in growing urban
environments and the special challenges that this growth
raises.
AGS research projects on urban systems include:
- AGS Future Cities: Guangzhou
- Air Pollution in Mega-Cities of the Developing World
- Tokyo Half Project: Evaluating CO2 Emission Reduction Using
Sustainable Collaboration Platform
- Designing, Implementing, and Measuring Sustainable Urban
Development (DIMSUD)
