     Enhancing Sustainability          Sparking Economic Vitality

                  Protecting Cultural Heritage                    Promoting Social Equity


                                                                                                                       ... in the world's fastest-growing cities?


Air and water quality. Resource consumption. Energy and transportation infrastructure. As the planet's urban population mushrooms to 6 billion out of 9 billion people by 2050, the sustainable development of cities—responsible for up to 70% of carbon emissions today—presents a major challenge.

We know you're up to the task!

This fall, join a unique experience studying urbanization and the environment, with a focus on China, home to some of the world's fastest-growing cities. Students will have a unique opportunity to collaborate with faculty and students from Tsinghua University in Beijing on urban sustainability projects.
