Join us on November 5 to brainstorm ways publications could better translate across the divide from local realism to global relevance. Cities and scholars face linked challenges and opportunities around sustainability. Cities must keep abreast of the latest research while being expected to inform that research to keep it realistic and timely. This session convenes editors, scholars, and practitioners to suggest how these cutting-edge knowledge products catalyze and constrain sustainable urban transformations. This panel will convene an international group spanning research publishing, academia, and practice to consider scholarly publishing as a translational technology with its own culture, offering evidence from its producers, users, and caretakers on better bridging local actions and global insights and agendas.
