This is a grant in support of a SUS workshop Research on urban sustainability often engages multiple disciplines, but this work is often limited in several important dimensions. First, much research on urban sustainability focuses on solutions that work for very large urban systems, leaving the problems of people in small or urban-fringe communities unaddressed. Second, scholarly researchers may tend to carry out work without engaging stakeholders in communities and industry. Third, many research disciplines in arts and the humanities are not integrated into sustainability research teams. This workshop targets to fill those gaps. It will: explore new solutions to sustainability challenges in water, energy, and climate adaptation; study how sustainability solutions must vary with the scale of an urban system; identify novel ways to integrate researchers from arts and the humanities into sustainability research teams; and study how research is altered by deep integration of researchers with stakeholders from business, communities, and NGOs. This workshop will develop implementable strategies to create and sustain a large scale research network that tackles urban sustainability in cities of all sizes with deep integration between researchers in many disciplines, municipalities, NGOs, and business partners. The workshop will identify critical gaps in research methodology and knowledge for solving sustainability problems in energy, water, and climate adaptation in a range of different types of urban systems, directing future sustainability research to improve the lives of more people in the coming time of climate change. Finally, early career researchers will gain networking and career development opportunities in a mode that is enhanced by reaching outside the academy.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.

这是一项支持 SUS 研讨会的赠款。城市可持续发展研究通常涉及多个学科，但这项工作通常在几个重要方面受到限制。首先，关于城市可持续性的许多研究都集中在适用于大型城市系统的解决方案上，而没有解决小型或城市边缘社区人们的问题。其次，学术研究人员可能倾向于在没有社区和行业利益相关者参与的情况下开展工作。第三，艺术和人文学科的许多研究学科没有纳入可持续发展研究团队。本次研讨会旨在填补这些空白。它将： 探索新的解决方案，应对水、能源和气候适应方面的可持续挑战；研究可持续性解决方案如何随着城市系统的规模而变化；找到将艺术和人文研究人员融入可持续发展研究团队的新方法；研究如何通过研究人员与企业、社区和非政府组织的利益相关者的深度整合来改变研究。本次研讨会将制定可实施的战略，以创建和维持一个大规模的研究网络，解决各种规模城市的城市可持续发展问题，并在多个学科的研究人员、市政当局、非政府组织和商业伙伴之间进行深度整合。该研讨会将确定研究方法和知识方面的关键差距，以解决一系列不同类型城市系统中能源、水和气候适应方面的可持续性问题，指导未来的可持续性研究，以在未来的气候变化时期改善更多人的生活改变。最后，早期职业研究人员将以一种通过进入学院之外而得到增强的方式获得网络和职业发展机会。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
