New York University and its partners are excited to respond to the City’s request for proposals for a new school of applied sciences in New York. At the heart of this proposal is an academic program to investigate and develop solutions to the challenges that face cities around the world.
Known as the Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP), the program will be tied to five cities on three continents, and will position Brooklyn as the epicenter of global thinking about how cities around the world can:
• become more energy efficient;
• reduce congestion and pollution;
• use increasingly vast amounts of data more effectively and quickly to make decisions and to inform their citizens;
• enhance safety and security;
• and ensure a high quality of life.
