Urban Management students explore ways to apply the UN Sustainable Development Goals to their home cities by devising indicators and research methodologies in the City Profiles course. These indicators assess urban issues such as: housing affordability, transportation emission rates and connectivity, inclusivity in the planning process, resilience to natural disasters, amount of green public space per capita, and waste management efficiency. Such a process allows for comparison and collaboration in improving sustainable development in cities worldwide.
