Enviro Infrstrcture Sus Cities

Sustainable and resilient cities require integrated networks of transportation, water, waste, stormwater, energy, parks, housing, and communication infrastructure to support a low-carbon society and lifestyles. This course, led by two experienced practitioners and civic leaders, examines climate solutions at the city level through the lens of capital programs and policies, including responses to Hurricane-related challenges in New York City. Class modules cover key topics such as program development, stakeholder engagement, public support, project finance, contracting, and public-private partnerships, alongside sector-specific challenges, technologies, and initiatives. Grounded in real-world case studies, the course features guest lectures from city agencies and private-sector experts, as well as a field trip offering a behind-the-scenes look at an infrastructure facility. Designed for future sustainability leaders, this course equips students with the knowledge and skills to shape the cities of tomorrow.
