Program Spotlight: Arizona State University’s Project Cities Program Presents at EPIC-N Conference
By: Ada Inman
Arizona State University’s EPIC Model Program, Project Cities, pairs sustainability faculty and students with a city to co-create strategies for better environmental, economic and social balance in the places we live. Students from multiple disciplines research difficult problems chosen by the city and propose innovative sustainability solutions that enable the city to make progress toward a better future.
ASU students in designated courses work directly with a local city on predetermined sustainability-related projects and challenges. Students from multiple disciplines research difficult problems chosen by the city and propose innovative sustainability solutions that enable the city to make progress toward a better future. Students benefit by learning to integrate social, economic and environmental sustainability knowledge into realistic solutions. In the process, participating cities may identify sustainable solution pathways for complex problems.
Leaders from the Project Cities program joined EPIC-N staff to discuss their partnership with Apache Junction and the successful projects that came out of it. Watch the recording of this presentation here.
