This is a Sustainable Urban Systems (SUS) workshop grant. Organized to address natural and climate, technological, and societal disruptions that will transform urban systems, the workshop will bring together a unique, diverse, and expert group of 140 researchers and stakeholders in the Chicago region to develop transformative ideas and visions for advancing Sustainable Urban Systems Large-Scale Research Networks through a convergence approach. Participants, drawn from academia, industry, foundations, community organizations, government, technology organizations, and the arts and humanities, will identify new research questions and methodologies to advance sustainable urban systems that address not only science and engineering topics, but also social, behavioral, and economic considerations. Intertwined application areas within an urban system including, for example, transportation, electricity grids, urban agriculture, and public health systems, will be considered holistically rather than in isolation. Conclusions and outcomes from breakout discussions will be compiled and disseminated to be of value to stakeholders beyond those who participate to the conference and to the broader sustainable urban systems research community. Participants will benefit from hearing local and national experts in many fields address sustainable urban systems and from engaging discussions with the diverse set of attendees during breakouts and informal networking to encourage collaboration outside of this particular effort. Under-represented groups in terms of gender, race, and socio-economic status will be especially targeted for inclusion in the workshop. Also, twenty trainees from workshop planning member organizations will benefit from interactions with professionals from a diverse range of organizations, disciplines and community groups. A workshop whitepaper describing promising near-term actions will result in new collaborations and help workshop attendees achieve their organizations' objectives. Attendees from universities, planning agencies, companies, and large NGOs will benefit greatly from a better appreciation for community desires, concerns and capacity, while community members will have an opportunity to influence the practices and priorities of these organizations. Finally, the report to NSF charting a sustainable urban systems research agenda will be broadly disseminated to interested parties beyond workshop participants.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这是可持续城市系统(SUS)研讨会的资助。研讨会旨在应对将改变城市系统的自然和气候、技术和社会破坏，将汇集芝加哥地区由140名研究人员和利益相关者组成的独特、多样化的专家小组，通过融合的方法为推进可持续城市系统大规模研究网络开发变革性的想法和愿景。参与者来自学术界、工业界、基金会、社区组织、政府、技术组织以及艺术和人文学科，他们将确定新的研究问题和方法，以推动可持续城市系统的发展，这些系统不仅涉及科学和工程主题，而且还涉及社会、行为和经济方面的考虑。城市系统内相互交织的应用领域，包括交通、电网、城市农业和公共卫生系统，将被整体考虑，而不是孤立地考虑。分组讨论的结论和结果将被汇编和传播，以便对参加会议的利益攸关方和更广泛的可持续城市系统研究界具有价值。与会者将受益于听取许多领域的地方和国家专家解决可持续城市系统的问题，并在分组讨论和非正式联网期间与不同的与会者进行讨论，以鼓励在这一特定努力之外的合作。在性别、种族和社会经济地位方面代表性不足的群体将特别纳入讲习班。此外，来自讲习班规划成员组织的20名受训人员将从与来自不同组织、学科和社区团体的专业人员的互动中受益。研讨会白皮书描述了有希望的近期行动，将导致新的合作，并帮助研讨会与会者实现其组织的目标。来自大学、规划机构、公司和大型非政府组织的与会者将从更好地理解社区的愿望、关切和能力中受益匪浅，而社区成员将有机会影响这些组织的做法和优先事项。最后，向NSF提交的绘制可持续城市系统研究议程的报告将广泛传播给研讨会参与者以外的感兴趣的各方。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
