Project Summary

This MCubed Sustainability Block linked three MCubes focusing on various aspects of urban sustainability including energy efficiency, women's health, and the relationships among food, energy, and water. The block brought together a total of nine researchers who used the $10,000 in additional research support to explore potential synergies and future interdisciplinary sustainability-related grant opportunities, and to extend support for students.
