MONDAY, JUNE 26, 2017 | EMERALD | PAGE 3  COVER UO students lead the way on sustainable urban development

➡ MICHAEL TOBIN @MICHAELTOBINUO The university’s applied sustainability think-tank, the Sustainable Cities Initiative (SCI), is harnessing the am- bition of students and the knowledge of faculty mem- bers to help promote sustainable urban development and lead the global initiative to fight climate change. Founded in 2007, SCI promotes education, service, public outreach and research on the design and de- velopment of sustainable city infrastructure, such as developing bikeways and improving pedestrian mobil- ity. It also serves as the umbrella group for a variety of other projects that work to develop said sustainable cities through . SCI’s most prominent program, the Sustainable City Year Program (SCYP), partners an Oregon city seek- ing sustainable and innovative ideas for development with university members across multiple disciplines. Students and faculty from architecture to planning, public policy and management collaborate with city staff and elected officials to complete city-designated projects and provide creative proposals for sustainable development. Dr. Marc Schlossberg, co-director of SCI and a Plan- ning, Public Policy and Management professor, encour- ages students to realize the potential of bikeways and public transportation in cities through his work with Pairs workshop during the EPIC-N conference in the initiative. Schlossberg explains that incorporat- Bonn, Germany (SCI) ing students in the development and planning process takes pressure away from city planners, who often avoid taking risks due to the nature of local politics. Removing this risk allows for the exploration and ex- perimentation of new ideas, Schlossberg says. Because students are still learning, they have unique perspec- tives to propose bold solutions. “Students are able to find this sweet spot between realistic approaches for the community and a sense of utopian idealism,” Schlossberg said. Schlossberg explained that SCYP benefits not only the city involved with the program, but also students and the community in general. This year, the program part- nered with the city of Albany. “SCYP connects students with tangible projects which count as real work experience,” he said, “as well as ad- dressing critical societal issues around sustainability, climate change and efficiently using taxpayer dollars.” Mikailia McNeill, a graduate student who participated in this year’s SCYP project, says the experience of breaking the mold of the traditional classroom benefits students who seek a more practical and applied educa- tion. McNeill explains that the work done in her SCYP- affiliated class was much more than busy work. “This program allows you to be in a class, but also gain real life work experience. The deadlines are real, and your work impacts more than yourself,” she said. “This is how I see real life work experience, hopefully in this field, your work will always be affecting more people than yourself.” At the end of the year, students from twenty classes SCYP planners collaborate on city development projects (SCI) representing more than ten disciplines logged roughly
