This course provides students with an overview of key issues involved in the planning, management, operations, and maintenance of urban infrastructure systems, including transportation, water supply, power, communications, and information systems. It includes elements of engineering and technology, management, economics, finance, regulatory and public policy that impact the sustainable development of the urban environment. The course features several distinguished guest lecturers from infrastructure industries and public agencies who share significant case studies with students. The course includes a component on GIS, with a focus on how to collect, integrate, and share spatial data in urban infrastructure management. Group projects are required.

The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of the issues that need to be addressed in making a city sustainable, beginning with a definition of what is intended by the concept of sustainability, and a discussion of what is the essence of a city. Students will be asked to become familiar with the major challenges in making a city sustainable, and to provide, as part of their homework assignments, a paper addressing a topic covered by the course through research and, where appropriate, proposing solutions.

The goal of this course is to improve the engineering design of a city and its components. The course focuses on the city as an entity which concentrates living organisms, societal organizations and activities, and machines, interacting with the environment both outside and inside the city. A number of essential questions about the future of cities will be examined, such as: (1) What does urbanization mean for the future of human-kind in terms of resources, capabilities, ideologies, and culture? (2) How can the design of cities affect their future? (3) What should be the role of the engineer? (4) How can the engineer of the future be prepared for that role? (5) What critical engineering interventions are needed to influence the future of today's cities? Each student will select a project dealing with some aspects of the course, and present its results to the class.

3.00 Credits
2:3:0:3 This course is intended to benefit students who are about to enter the consulting industry. It is difficult to separate environmental and geotechnical concerns in the urban environment. This course teaches students what environmental concerns to expect when planning constructionprojects, investigating sites and overseeing construction. The course covers methods for addressing these concerns. Topics covered include clay mineralogy, soil/ water/contaminant interactions, interfacial tension and capillarity and remediation techniques. Prerequisite: CE 3153 or equivalent.
