What is the Network?

To strengthen efforts to ensure the sustainability of the region, ASU, city, county, and tribal leaders established the Sustainable Cities Network. The Network is a vehicle for sharing knowledge and coordinating efforts to understand and solve problems. It is designed to foster partnerships, identify best practices, provide training and information, and create a bridge between ASU's research and front-line challenges of sustainability. Through the Network, partners will work together to streamline and green city operations, advance solar energy, mitigate the urban heat island, design sustainable neighborhoods, and secure water supplies in a changing climate.
