Over the last year I have been working to convene leaders from across the UW-Madison to focus the energy, expertise, and rigor of campus on cities.
The Alliance brings together principals from UW-Madison’s COWS, Global Health Institute, Institute for Research on Poverty, Morgridge Center for Public Service, Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies, Department of Urban and Regional Planning and UW Extension.
Here’s what people are saying about our pilot project with the City of Monona. #UniverCityOfMonona
