Mission

Our mission is to develop systemic solutions to social and environmental challenges driving inequity and injustice in urban areas. To do this, we bring together designers, urban ecologists, scientists, researchers and policymakers with the goal to improve the lives of those most vulnerable, and to enhance decision making and science communication from local to global scales.
