The City Science Network
The City Science Network is an international community of institutions and researchers that share the common goal to enable more livable, equitable, and resilient communities. We propose that transnational problems such as climate change and public health are best addressed in cities, one community at a time. Future cities, described as clusters of high-performing, entrepreneurial, and walkable communities, would allow for neighborhoods that aspire to achieve the following goals: zero commuting, zero energy, maximum creative collisions, maximum equity, and maximum public health. These communities will offer a unique combination of density, diversity, access, and public amenities to inspire, promote social interaction, ensure equity, and increase creative and entrepreneurial engagement.
The network collaborates on projects and meets often for lectures and workshops in addition to the annual City Science Summit. The schools and universities each have a physical lab in their home location. Network tools and knowledge are shared using a collective repository.
The City Science Network includes:
City Science Lab @ Andorra at the The Andorra Innovation Hub
City Science Lab @Hamburg at HafenCity University
City Science Lab @ Shanghai at Tongji University College of Design and Innovation
City Science Lab @ Taipei at Taipei Tech
City Science Lab @ Toronto at Ryerson University
City Science Lab @ Guadalajara at the University of Guadalajara
City Science Lab @ Ho Chi Minh City at the Urban Planning Institute
and MIT City Science at the Media Lab, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
