The Project Cities program is a signature program of the Sustainable Cities Network in the Global Futures Laboratory (GFL) at Arizona State University (ASU). Project Cities connects community partners facing sustainability challenges to faculty teaching courses at the university to develop solutions with students through project-based learning. Since the program launched in 2017, Project Cities has collaborated with 17 Arizona community partners on more than 135 projects involving over 1,600 undergraduate and graduate students led by 62 faculty members across more than 30 ASU schools, colleges, programs, and initiatives. In 2022, Project Cities was awarded the ASU President's Medal for Social Embeddedness for its achievement in advancing mutually beneficial university-community partnerships.

Project Cities' goals are to: (1) Foster long-term, mutually-beneficial partnerships between ASU and local communities and organizations; (2) Leverage ASU's knowledge base, faculty and student body to improve the quality of life in communities; (3) Bring cross-disciplinary collaboration and research-backed solutions to complex municipal/local challenges; (4) Work with public agencies to identify challenges and co-create project solutions and options; (5) Engage students in hands-on learning to prepare them for future careers; and (6) Facilitate class project opportunities for ASU scientists and scholars by providing access to Project Cities' community partnerships and logistical program support.

The Program Manager will lead coordination, administration, facilitation, and evaluation of Project Cities throughout each program cycle.
