On February 15 – 16, 2016, the Urbanization and Global Environmental Change Project held the second Livable Urban Futures meeting at Arizona State University’s Downtown Campus. It was a continuation of activities begun at the first meeting in Boulder, Colorado, USA in March 2015. Members of the Future Earth Urban Platform (FEUP) core group and other international researchers were on hand to discuss and build upon two of the FEUP Initial Research Activities (see page 12-13 of FEUP Design Draft [pdf] for more details): Urbanization, Food-Energy-Water Systems and Extreme Hazard Risks (UNMASK, formerly Adapting Cities to Climate Extremes and Variability) and Alternative Urban Futures. The meeting was led by James Goldstein, Corrie Griffith, Patricia Romero-Lankao, and David Simon. Click here to read the concept note.
Workshop participants are currently working toward developing these research activities for future funding opportunities.
