Creating sustainable cities requires cooperative effort to coordinate and optimize infrastructure developments. Effective coordination and collective optimization can be achieved if stakeholders (developers, designers, contractors, financiers, regulators, operators, general public, etc) are able to integrate their individual processes and maximize their collective interests.

The main short-term (years 1-5) objectives of this research are to develop a:
