Sustainable Regional Systems (SRS) are connected urban and rural systems, including all systems in between, designed with the goal of measurably advancing the equitable well-being of people and the planet. More than half the world’s population lives in urban centers, a trend that is expected to add 100 million new inhabitants to U.S. cities by 2050 ^[1]. The increase of urban inhabitants is likely to change and potentially strain the networks of connected communities that exist across the U.S. and the world. As urban systems and their connections to rural areas grow, it is imperative that current and future social, engineered, and natural systems and infrastructure are maintained, planned, and implemented to adapt to this increase in population.  For Submission Details, Click here.
