1541869 (Miller). This workshop will: 1) provide a forum to consider sustainability within the context of transitioning urban landscapes and economies, and 2) lead to a deeper understanding of the integrative nature of food, energy, and water systems within post-industrial urban environs (e.g., Detroit and Baltimore). Research on sustainability in maturing urban environments, yet with potential for future growth and development, provides an opportunity for setting and meeting sustainable goals. The pursuit of environmental sustainability, especially in relation to food, energy, and water, is less intuitive in aged and shrinking post-industrial urban settings despite the prevalence of such cities within the global arena and there is a clear need for research and education that supports such a mission in these areas. Given their age, geographical locations, and complex social-ecological histories, the examination and comparison of the Cities of Detroit and Baltimore provide a unique opportunity for evaluation of research needs and opportunities in food-energy-water sustainability.The workshop will provide a collaborative gathering of experts and practitioners with a specialized focus on sustainability of food, energy, water systems in the context of transitioning landscapes. The workshop will identify gaps in existing intellectual resources and plan a path forward for resolution of those gaps.

1541869（米勒）。该研讨会将：1）提供一个论坛，在城市景观和经济转型的背景下考虑可持续性，2）加深对后工业城市环境（例如底特律和巴尔的摩）内食品、能源和水系统的综合性质的理解。对成熟城市环境中可持续性的研究，以及未来增长和发展的潜力，为制定和实现可持续目标提供了机会。尽管此类城市在全球舞台上盛行，但在老龄化和萎缩的后工业城市环境中，对环境可持续性的追求，特别是与食品、能源和水有关的可持续性，不太直观，而且显然需要研究和教育来支持这些领域的这一使命。考虑到底特律市和巴尔的摩市的历史、地理位置和复杂的社会生态历史，对底特律市和巴尔的摩市的考察和比较为评估食品-能源-水可持续性方面的研究需求和机会提供了独特的机会。研讨会将提供专家和从业者的协作聚会，专门关注转型景观背景下食品、能源、水系统的可持续性。该研讨会将确定现有智力资源的差距，并规划解决这些差距的前进道路。
