It has been so rewarding to watch the IOC grow, and I look forward to building on that success by continuing to create new opportunities for urbanists at BU to engage with each other and with municipal governments and community partners in our region and beyond. I\u2019m especially excited for our team to advance new initiatives like the Urban-H index, which will seek new solutions to key challenges that pose growing threats to urban livability and vitality.\u201d<\/span>
