Prof. Monica Menendez (LPI & Center Director) presented CITIES at World Urban Forum 2020 (WUF2020). WUF is the foremost international gathering for exchanging views and experiences on sustainable urbanization and all its ramifications. The inclusive nature of the Forum, combined with high-level participation makes it the premier international gathering on urban issues.
More in detail, Prof. Monica Menendez participated in the WUF2020 Researchers Roundtable. There she talked about collaboration as a key component to produce cutting-edge innovative research that gets translated into real improvements for our cities. She discussed collaboration both across disciplines (including engineering, sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities) and across stakeholders (academia, private sector, government) – an idea embedded in the DNA of CITIES.
