On October 19, 2016, an expert committee under the Science and Technology for Sustainability program publicly released a consensus report, Pathways to Urban Sustainability: Challenges and Opportunities for the United States. The report offers a road map and recommendations to help U.S. cities work toward sustainability, measurably improving their residents’ economic, social, and environmental well-being. The report recommends that every U.S. city develop a sustainability plan that not only accounts for its own unique characteristics but also adapts strategies that have led to measurable improvements in other cities with similar economic, environmental, and social contexts.
