Cities@Tufts is a cross-disciplinary academic initiative which recognizes Tufts University as a leader in urban studies, urban planning and sustainability issues. Anchored by the department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning, it aims to highlight our impressive contributions in community strategy, civic democracy, ethnographic research, urban and community health, food justice and security, urban politics and economics, social inequalities and GIS. Cities@Tufts works with students, academics, policymakers and planners, businesses and community stakeholders to develop cross-disciplinary and cross-sector collaborative and community based research. They aim to develop solutions to today’s urban challenges and opportunities based not on presupposed notions but on being critical: first asking the right questions.

With emerging technology, new players in the mobility mix, and the approach of autonomy, it’s more important than ever for mobility stakeholders and advocates from around the world to gather, discuss, and learn. The Carsharing Association (CSA) conference in Vancouver will equip carsharing organizations and other attendees with an actionable toolkit of data, strategies, practical operating solutions and case studies to optimize their growth. Participants attending the 2020 conference will set the stage for the rapid progression of the industry and strengthening the role of carsharing in the next era of mobility.
