Urban Infrastructure and Food Systems for People and the Planet
Sponsored by the Metropolis Project and M.S. Chadha Center for Global India
This two-day workshop will showcase the impact of co-produced urban sustainability science, data, and models on sustainability scholarship, city policy-making and interdisciplinary student experiences. The workshop will bring together faculty, students, practitioners, and policymakers associated with the NSF-funded Sustainable Healthy Cities Network and NSF-USDA Innovations at the Nexus of Food-Energy-Water Systems grants, both anchored by PI Anu Ramaswami at Princeton University. Each day features multiple sessions.
