How can transformations in cities help achieve the world's sustainable development goals? Professor Anu Ramaswami explains in this Princeton Environmental Institute video, which has been featured in the National Science Foundation's Multimedia Gallery.

The concept of sustainable urban systems goes beyond urban areas to  look at the larger systems connecting cities and the environment. Ramaswami's research group works closely with city planners and policymakers worldwide to optimize the sustainability of urban infrastructure, including food, water, energy, shelter, mobility, waste management, and open spaces that provide health and well-being.
