SPOTLIGHT
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Special : SCIENCE AND THE CITY
By 2030, almost 6 in 10 people will live in metropolitan areas. A
Nature special focuses on how that concentration of people gives
rise to some of the world's greatest problems, as well as some of
humanity's greatest achievements.
http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=35&m=35920312&r=MTc2NzE1NzUzNAS2&b=2&j=ODUwODU2MzkS1&mt=1&rt=0
Cities are home to considerable scientific capital and the resources
they offer can stimulate outstanding science. On the other side of
the equation, scientists can assist cities in tackling their biggest
problems.
http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=47&m=35920312&r=MTc2NzE1NzUzNAS2&b=2&j=ODUwODU2MzkS1&mt=1&rt=0
http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=48&m=35920312&r=MTc2NzE1NzUzNAS2&b=2&j=ODUwODU2MzkS1&mt=1&rt=0
http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=45&m=35920312&r=MTc2NzE1NzUzNAS2&b=2&j=ODUwODU2MzkS1&mt=1&rt=0
Scientists are also helping cities assume a leadership position in
combating global warming. But a disproportionate lack of data at the
city level makes it hard for urban planners and scientists to address
many of the most pressing issues. Finally, cities must find a way to
grow sustainably in the future, which will require scientists across
many disciplines to collaborate.
