Urban Future: A new centre will be formed in Gothenburg
News: Oct 01, 2009
The cities of the future must be designed to meet the great challenges of climate change, environmental destruction and many resource allocation issues. MISTRA, the Foundation for Strategic Environmental Research, has granted a substantial sum to Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg to build a world-leading centre for holistic development of sustainable communities.
’One of the Centre’s strengths is its broad approach – it engages researchers, businesses and decision makers. The combination of qualified scientific competence and political visions will make it possible to find new solutions for sustainable development’, says Pam Fredman, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Gothenburg.
One of the research areas in Urban Future is the ICT area, where Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg are having a close research collaboration.
