The Center for Sustainable Urban Infrastructure Details
Urban infrastructure refers to engineered systems that provide water, energy, transport, sanitation, information and built environments for more than half of the world's population living in cities today. With rapid population growth placing a strain on available and vulnerable resources, the need for high-performing, resilient, cost-effective, resource-efficient and environment-friendly infrastructure is being recognized globally as a key component of future urban sustainability. Our goal is to design, analyze and implement the use of sustainable urban infrastructures of the future through integration across the disciplines of engineering, architecture and planning, public affairs, and, health and behavioral sciences.UC Denver has developed a unique, inter-disciplinary integrated research and teaching program on Sustainable Urban Infrastructure across four graduate programs -- the College of Engineering, the School of Public Affairs, the College of Architecture and Planning, and the Health and Behavioral Sciences Program in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
