In an Start Tribune article: U offering Cities a New Partnership to Solve Problems by Kelly Smith students and professors are scaling up sustainability issues from the class and bringing them to communities. The Resilient communities project at the University of Minnesota is working with the city of Minnetonka.
Graduate students partner with cities to address issues such as storm water managment, roof top gardens and other projects. The work is based on the sustainable cities program at the University of Oregon launched in 2009. The school works with a city for a year on various projects and these are integrated into the curricula. This is an example of the classes and activities for the city of Springfield, Oregon
A request for proposal (RFP) to partner with the U of MN for fiscal year 2013/2014 will be available in October of 2012.
