    About this event

    How can we use mathematics to meet urgent and municipal needs and achieve long-term goals for infrastructure sustainability? Join the National Academies for a series of three virtual workshops on July 13, 20, and 27 to explore optimization techniques that could advance urban sustainability. This workshop will bring together speakers with expertise in urban sustainability, city planning, infrastructure, mathematics, and statistics to discuss ways to help local governments better prioritize and invest in public works projects.
