Fordham-Columbia-NYU International Conference on Sustainable Cities – May 1-2, 2018

Fordham University organized the first international conference on sustainable cities with Columbia University and New York University on May 1-2, 2018 when more than 150 scholars and experts participated in the conference to discuss urban sustainability. The efforts of 26 faculty and staff from these three universities all contributed to the needed academic review of submis- sions and the organization of the conference. As one of the key initiatives of Ford- ham-Columbia-NYU institutional research collaboration, the three universities are planning to continue to organize an annual conference on this subject next year, pub- lish an edited book, and develop joint grant proposals.
