| University campuses must take a leadership position in helping cities and nations address the challenges and opportunities of climate change, urban population growth in developing countries, as well as aging populations in developed countries. To turn these challenges into opportunities require systems integration approaches to providing regional, urban and local energy, connectivity, water, mobility, and food while improving environmental quality, human health, biodiversity, and employment through future oriented community and building practices. |
