Sustainable Communities Research Program
 The Urban Sustainability Initiative ( USI ) is a collaborative effort between the University of California, Berkeley and a diverse range of public and private institutions in Asia, Africa and Latin America, seeking to integrate cutting edge science into the decision-making processes of urban areas throughout the developing world. With financial support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, we are creating "living laboratories" in cities in Africa , Asia and Latin America to test new approaches to environmentally sustainable urban development. These new approaches are combined with existing promising practices to identify what works and why, and then to facilitate the transfer of technologies and practices that work to cities throughout the world. |
