Sustainable Healthy Cities Network
As part of US National Science Foundation-supported network of scientists, industry leaders, and policy partners, we research how to build better cities. The SHC network examines physical changes in the scale and scope of infrastructure design, the role of new technologies, as well as the changes in public attitudes and policy that can help achieve the infrastructure transitions needed to build healthy, sustainable, and livable cities today and in the future.
