U.S. News & World Report ranked Georgia State the No. 2 most innovative college or university in the nation.
Who are cities for? Who has the right to shape their production and access the resources of urban societies? And what are the consequences of urban policies for marginalized, vulnerable, and disenfranchised communities?

Our grand challenge is to reimagine the relationship between humans and the environment. We have an opportunity, and an obligation, to make our world and cities more equitable, resilient, and sustainable.
