BE/MUSES: Decision-support for Urban Development: Air Quality, social Justice, Material and energy and the Impact of Social Decision-making.The focus of this BE/MUSES planning grant will be to create a prototype tool that integrates air pollution models, material and energy flow analyses, and an urban development model. The ultimate outcome is aimed at developing decision support tools for environmental management of urban systems. Such tools are expected to encourage planners to choose more renewable resources and reduce waste generation, with the ultimate goal of reducing the environmental impacts of the built environment during rapid urbanization. The research is to explore the urban funnel concept with urban metabolism metrics and visualization tools, while calibrating and validating UrbanSim, a model that predicts urban growth by simulating the interaction of social-decision-making, land development and transportation activities. The goal is also to predict spatial and temporal distribution of major air pollutants, as well as sustainability metrics such as water usage and solid waste generation. Collaboration with a regional planning agency that works with Greater Phoenix municipalities will provide assessment of the models developed. Broader impacts include education for graduate and undergraduate students as well as outreach to K-12 students and teachers, the general public, and urban planners in the Phoenix area. This planning award is co-managed by Robert O'Connor in SES / SBE and Tom Waite in BES / ENG.

BE/缪斯：城市发展的决策支持：空气质量、社会公正、物质和能源以及社会决策的影响。BE/MUSES计划资助的重点是创建一个原型工具，该工具将空气污染模型、物质和能量流分析以及城市发展模型集成在一起。最终成果旨在为城市系统的环境管理开发决策支持工具。预计这些工具将鼓励规划者选择更多的可再生资源，减少废物的产生，最终目标是减少快速城市化过程中建筑环境对环境的影响。该研究旨在通过城市新陈代谢指标和可视化工具探索城市漏斗概念，同时校准和验证UrbanSim，这是一种通过模拟社会决策，土地开发和交通活动的相互作用来预测城市增长的模型。其目标还包括预测主要空气污染物的空间和时间分布，以及用水和固体废物产生等可持续性指标。与一个与大凤凰城市政当局合作的区域规划机构合作，将对所开发的模型进行评估。更广泛的影响包括对研究生和本科生的教育，以及对K-12学生和教师、公众和凤凰城地区城市规划者的宣传。该规划奖由SES / SBE的Robert奥康纳和BES /ENG的Tom Waite共同管理。
