The Urban Earth Wiki - CUNY Sustainability

The Urban Earth wiki is an on-line community and meeting space for educators, students and sustainability experts to exchange information and inspiration on the topic of urban sustainability. It is a user-driven tool that encourages personal expression as well as collaborative learning and content creation.
