ESI Advisory Council Meeting Challenges to and Opportunities for Developing Resilience in Rapidly Growing Urban Corridors in Semi-Arid Regions NSF-Sustainable Urban Systems Conference Jay Banner – UT Austin Darrel Tremaine – UT Austin

Sustainable Urban Systems Program ESI Advisory Council Meeting Sustainable Urban Systems Program Changing climate, rapid urbanization, and the projected addition of 2.5 billion humans over the next 25 years has delivered civilization into a new socio-ecological paradigm. Although urban areas occupy only 3-4% of global land area, they exert disproportionate and confounding effects on the sustainability of the environment, economy, and social equity. Animate each point in. I like these points from the proposal, let’s swap them in: Changing climate, rapid urbanization, and the projected addition of 2.5 billion humans over next 25 years has delivered civilization into a new socio-ecological paradigm Although urban areas occupy only 3-4% of global land area, they exert disproportionate and confounding effects on the sustainability of the environment, economy, and social equity2 world’s 50 largest cities draw upon 41% of the world’s watersheds Need an additional slide that lists NSF’s goals for these conferences. i.e., what happens to the conference white paper that we write? The world’s 50 largest cities draw upon watersheds that occupy 41% of the world’s land surface.

Sustainable Urban Systems Program ESI Advisory Council Meeting Sustainable Urban Systems Program NSF SUS program is leading the charge of developing convergent research agendas to address challenges to creating resilience in engineered, natural, and social subsystems. Developing new data and methods to understand the interactions among natural, built, and social systems in urban areas Advancing comparative, typology, and scalability studies to develop generalizable theories of urban systems Animate each point in. I like these points from the proposal, let’s swap them in: Changing climate, rapid urbanization, and the projected addition of 2.5 billion humans over next 25 years has delivered civilization into a new socio-ecological paradigm Although urban areas occupy only 3-4% of global land area, they exert disproportionate and confounding effects on the sustainability of the environment, economy, and social equity2 world’s 50 largest cities draw upon 41% of the world’s watersheds Need an additional slide that lists NSF’s goals for these conferences. i.e., what happens to the conference white paper that we write? Co-producing knowledge through engagement with communities and stakeholders and by leveraging real-world experimentation ongoing in urban areas Developing the science model and make predictions about the future of sustainable urban systems

ESI Advisory Council Meeting Grand Challenges ESI Advisory Council Meeting

ESI Advisory Council Meeting Grand Challenges The New 100th Meridian? Gray: Counties with > 75% population growth by 2050

ESI Advisory Council Meeting Grand Challenges As a logical extension of Planet Texas 2050, we proposed a 3-day conference to NSF-SUS focusing on four key themes: Processes and Feedbacks Big Data Integrated Modeling The Design of Co-Designed Research Initiatives

Formatted For Actionable Knowledge ESI Advisory Council Meeting Formatted For Actionable Knowledge We have partnered with social scientists, engineers, earth scientists, and policy influencers to organize a novel, transdisciplinary agenda. Themed Talks Facilitated Workshops Let’s define ‘Actionable…’ is this NSF’s term? Scientists Stakeholders Community Members Policy Influencers Actionable Knowledge for Urban Resilience

Formatted For Actionable Knowledge ESI Advisory Council Meeting Formatted For Actionable Knowledge Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Theme Session: Processes & Feedbacks and Big Data Theme Session: Processes & Feedbacks and Integrated Modelling Theme Session: Processes & Feedbacks and Big Data Workshop 1: Understanding Convergence and Divergence Workshop 1: Toolbox Dialogue Initiative Workshop 1: Design Thinking Lunch Lunch Lunch Too much stuff, and the audience won’t be interested in all these details. Can it be simplified to show the sequence, irrespective of days, of what we hope to have happen and accomplish? Theme Session: Integrated Modelling and Co-Designing Research Theme Session: Co-Designing Research and Big Data Workshop 2: Whole Conference Synthesis Workshop 2: Synthesizing Collaborative Outcomes From Day 1 Workshop 2: Synthesizing Collaborative Outcomes From Day 2 Workshop 3: Outlining Research Prospectus

ESI Advisory Council Meeting Conference Goals ESI Advisory Council Meeting The goals of the conference are to: 1. Establish a highly collaborative research network that is ready to lead the way in urban sustainability and resilience 2. Produce a conference report that serves as a convergent and integrative prospectus for the next decade of SUS research
