Sustainable cities and communities

Future urban landscapes need to be ecologically, economically and socially sustainable. At SLU, there is a broad competence linked to sustainable urban development, where green infrastructure, biodiversity, design of urban landscapes and sustainable urban food systems are just a few examples. By connecting disciplines, faculties and sectors, the platform stimulates new research, new methods and new collaborations.
