There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Urban infrastructure - electricity, natural gas, water, wastewater, transportation, buildings, and more - is long-lasting. It strongly influences the people, environment, and communities in which they are embedded. This conference brings together diverse experts and practitioners to develop new approaches to urban sustainability. Research disciplines include infrastructure ecology, biologically inspired design, complex systems, and mega-scale computation. Practitioner approaches include corporate sustainability, community-based equity and justice, and technology platforms for economic transformation.
The following topics, adapted from the National Science Foundation report, Sustainable Urban Systems: Articulating a Long-term Convergence Research Agenda, will form the framework for discussion.
This conference is one of 28 Sustainable Urban Systems Conference and Workshop Awards that are being held across the country this summer as NSF explores concepts for potential Sustainable Urban Systems Research Networks.
Hosted at Georgia Tech. More details here...
