Unit 12 - Urban environmental system

Conveners:
Prakash, Sanjay (India) / Shimoda, Yoshiyuki (Japan)

Overview:
Cities provide industrial goods and services and cause land, water and energy shortages, pollution, and break down communities. To improve this, conventional planning, fiscal interventions, and grand strategies must give way to viable ecological and human values. This unit calls for research and analysis papers on holistic sustainable urban environmental systems in the area of water, wastes, energy, urban mobility, and infrastructure.
