ASU Smart Cities and Regions Research Workshop

ASU is leading the global effort to design cities that are more sustainable, resilient, smart, and livable. To help us understand the depth of research and opportunities for collaboration across these topics, the Center for Smart Cities and Regions and the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability are sponsoring this interactive research showcase.

This event will highlight research from across the University that is conducted in collaboration with policy-makers, entrepreneurs, industry, and the public. While this research comes from many different disciplines, the goal is the same: to develop usable knowledge to enhance quality of life in cities.

Organized in cooperation with the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability, Institute for the Future of Innovation in Society, Center for Law, Science and Innovation, and Knowledge Exchange for Resilience.
