This project funds a three day conference to be held August 14-16, 2019 at the University of Texas, Austin. The goal is to bring together researchers, stakeholders, and policy influencers to explore scientific themes around natural -engineered-human subsystems comprising Sustainable Urban Systems in semi-arid regions. The ideal outcome of the conference is a cohesive network of project proposals around the grand challenges of Sustainable Urban Systems. The conference will have presentations and breakout sessions and innovative activities of breakout sessions mental models exercises, toolbox dialog initiative, and design thinking. This scientific research contribution thus supports NSF's mission to promote the progress of science and to advance our national welfare. In this case, the benefits will be insights to improve urban sustainability which will save lives and economic losses.This conference explores four themes: 1) Processes and Feedbacks, 2) Big Data, 3) Integrated Models, and 4) Co-Designed Research. While necessarily technical in nature, these conference sessions are designed to elucidate disparate and converging approaches to these themes within the context of holistically advancing cross-sector partnerships that engage the broadest range of participants, from citizen scientists and community organizers to sustainability professionals and elected policy makers. To support this approach, facilitated break-out sessions will use established system-modeling toolkits to delve deeper into discussions initiated during presentations to integrate ideas across theme topics. Improving transdisciplinary communication is an overarching goal, and the discussions will enhance scientific collaboration by developing a common research language and by measuring the degree of pre- and post-conference convergence among participants around their epistemic valuation of Sustainable Urban Systems Science.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.

该项目为将于2019年8月14日至16日在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校举行为期三天的会议。目的是将研究人员，利益相关者和政策影响者汇集在一起​​，以探索围绕天然工程的人类子系统的科学主题，其中包括半干旱地区可持续的城市系统。会议的理想结果是围绕可持续城市系统巨大挑战的项目建议网络。该会议将举办演讲和分组讨论，以及突破性会议的心理模型练习，工具箱对话框计划和设计思维的创新活动。因此，这项科学研究的贡献支持NSF促进科学进步并促进我们的民族福利的使命。在这种情况下，收益将是改善城市可持续性的见解，这将节省生命和经济损失。该会议探讨了四个主题：1）过程和反馈，2）大数据，3）综合模型，以及4）共同设计的研究。尽管本质上必然是技术性的，但这些会议旨在在整体上推进跨部门合作伙伴关系的背景下阐明这些主题的不同和融合方法，从而吸引了最广泛的参与者，从公民科学家和社区组织者到可持续性专业人士到可持续性专业人士，再到当选决策者。为了支持这种方法，促进的突破性会议将使用既定的系统模型工具包，以更深入地研究演讲期间发起的讨论，以整合跨主题的想法。改善跨学科沟通是一个总体目标，讨论将通过开发通用的研究语言并通过衡量参与者之间的会议前和会议融合的程度来增强科学合作，围绕他们对可持续城市系统科学的认知估值，这一奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估范围来反映出基金会的支持者，并通过基金会的范围进行了评估，并反映了基金会的范围。
