Temple University’s Center for Sustainable Communities hosted a workshop ‘How does Infrastructure Shape Equity and Well-being Across the Urban-Rural Gradient’September 11th to September 13th, 2019. The workshop was supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under Grant No. 1929834 and Temple University in partnership with Drexel University, Hunter College, CUNY, Indiana University-Bloomington, Oak Ridge National Labs, The Franklin Institute, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission, the Sustainable Business Network, and Planet Philadelphia.

The workshop was about the impact of infrastructure on equity and well-being across the urban-rural gradient and used Philadelphia metropolitan region as a case study. One of the goals was to integrate different sets of knowledge and skills from diverse perspectives. Workshop attendees included researchers from the social, engineering, health, data, and environmental sciences, and practitioners, industry leaders, government agencies, educators, and community organizers. Key issues discussed were:

How to create and evaluate models for knowledge co-production
How to meaningfully prioritize equity and wellbeing in sustainability research and planning
How to bring analysis of health into infrastructure research
Possible re-conceptualizations of the urban-rural gradient
The need for comparative research on infrastructure systems
