From Urban Earth

This wiki is the collaborative information community of the The CUNY Institute for Sustainable Cities

Welcome

Over half of the world's population now live in urban centers. By the year 2050, that figure will rise to 80%. How life is lived in cities, and the decisions made in them, will play an increasingly important role in our ability as humans to thrive on our planet. Urbanites and their infrastructure stand at a pivotal point in history.

The Urban Earth wiki is an on-line community and meeting space for educators, students and sustainability experts to exchange information and inspiration on the topic of urban sustainability. It is a user-driven tool that encourages personal expression as well as collaborative learning and content creation. It is a place to share data, ideas, papers, poems - there is no real limit on what you can contribute. Quickly and easily editable by all, Urban Earth is a great resource for tapping into the pulse of the urban sustainability community both within CUNY and beyond.

Together, we can create something great.
