New York University Center for Urban Science and Progress - a case study on city-academia coordination

This case study examines the key features, outputs and overall strengths and limitations of the New York University Center for Urban Science and Progress, a unique public-private research center.

It demonstrates the effectiveness of a research infrastructure built by joint efforts of academia, city authorities and industry and is a good example of how a transdisciplinary research infrastructure could be developed. It could serve as an inspiration for European P2Ps building similar infrastructures.
