The Sustainable Cities Research Institute at Northumbria University aims to develop and promote sustainable approaches to urban living. It is an applied research and consultancy organisation committed to:



-Informing policy making and the public

-Enhancing community involvement

-Developing innovatory approaches in research and policy implementation

-Delivering the principles of sustainable development through working closely with local, national and international organisations



The Institute works with many partners from the local to the global, involving researchers, community, business and government. Sustainable Cities takes an integrated approach, making connections between issues and areas of study in order to bring forward ideas and policies that will best improve people's quality of life and protect the environment on which we all depend.



Making our cities sustainable is challenging: it is also exciting and worthwhile. Look further into our website to find out more about we do and our work; what is of interest to you; and how Sustainable Cities Research Institute may be of assistance to you or your organisation.
