Eighty percent of the U.S. population lives in urban areas. As hubs for economic powerhouses, urban communities generate around 85% of tthe U.S. GDP. Therefore, the sustainability of urban communities underpins the sustained prosperity of the Nation. Large urban cities across the U.S. are increasingly faced with the rapidly decaying infrastructure, critical maintenance and repair needs across city systems, and a need for modernization. Sustaining the urban infrastructures and their quality of service to the evolving climatic and socio-economic demands call for innovative strategies for their adaptations. This workshop will explore the potential of biological systems, which demonstrate amazing adaptation strategies to extreme climatic conditions, i.e., extreme cold, extreme hot, marsh, salinity, and drought, to provide a rich repository of information as source of inspiration for the smart adaptation of urban infrastructure. The outcome of the workshop will be to design a research and educational roadmap and to build a convergent research community to explore the frontier of bio-inspired adaptation of urban infrastructure systems. The workshop on Bio-Inspired Adaptation for Urban Infrastructure Systems will leverage the intelligence and adaptation strategies of biological and ecological systems as sources of inspiration for creating new approaches to design and implementation of adaptive urban infrastructure systems. The workshop program will focus on four major thrust areas: adaptation in biological/ecological systems; bio-inspired adaptive infrastructure systems; bio-inspired adaptive decision and governance; and education and workforce planning for urban adaptation. The workshop will be a two-day event providing various opportunities for team-building, keynote speeches, panels, facilitated group discussions, and poster sessions. This program will facilitate transdisciplinary exchange among researchers, practitioners, community leaders, and decision-makers. The workshop will provide extensive opportunities for dynamic interactions among attendees who bring together transdisciplinary expertise, with the aim of advancing the science of the urban sustainability.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

美国80％的人口居住在城市地区。作为用于经济强国的枢纽，城市社区的产生约占美国GDP的85％。 因此，城市社区的可持续性为国家的持续繁荣提供了基础。 美国各地的大型城市城市越来越面临着迅速腐烂的基础设施，整个城市系统的关键维护和维修需求以及对现代化的需求。 维持城市基础设施及其对不断发展的气候和社会经济需求的服务质量要求其适应性创新策略。 该研讨会将探索生物系统的潜力，该研讨会表现出对极端气候条件的惊人适应策略，即极端寒冷，极端热，沼泽，盐度和干旱，以提供丰富的信息库，以作为城市基础设施智能适应的灵感来源。 研讨会的结果将是设计研究和教育路线图，并建立一个收敛的研究社区，以探索以生物启发的城市基础设施系统改编的边界。 关于城市基础设施系统生物启发的适应的研讨会将利用生物学和生态系统的智能和适应策略，作为创建新方法来设计和实施适应性城市基础设施系统的灵感来源。研讨会计划将重点放在四个主要的推力领域：生物/生态系统中的适应；生物启发的自适应基础设施系统；生物启发的自适应决定和治理；以及城市适应的教育和劳动力计划。该研讨会将是为期两天的活动，为团队建设，主题演讲，小组，便利的小组讨论和海报会议提供各种机会。该计划将促进研究人员，从业人员，社区领导者和决策者之间的跨学科交流。该研讨会将为汇集跨学科专业知识的与会者之间的动态互动提供广泛的机会，目的是推进城市可持续性的科学。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准通过评估来通过评估来支持的。
