The USC Sustainable Cities
Program is an NSF-funded doctoral training program for
students working toward PhD degrees in a wide variety of
fields spanning the natural and social sciences,
engineering, and public policy. Thus students and faculty
who would not otherwise be expected to interact, get the
opportunity to learn from one another and work across
disciplinary lines. Students in the program complete a
series of seminars and research courses on issues
surrounding urban sustainability, environmental monitoring
and technology, and communication across disciplines and
stakeholder audiences. Students then form small
multidisciplinary teams supervised by a multidisciplinary
faculty group, to undertake a client-oriented collaborative
research project related to sustainability in southern
California. The research project is expected to form part of
each student's dissertation, and result in either a
professional report or publication.
