chief minister of Maharashtra Prithviraj Chavan Said----
A new Centre for Urban Science and Engineering (C-USE) was inaugurated on Monday by Prithviraj Chavan,  at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) campus.Rapid urbanization has lead to a plethora of challenges and problems. One of the issues faced by future urban cities would be how to design policies for urban planning taking into account science, technology, social, pscyhological, environmental, financial and other aspects into consideration.Computer Basic Knowledge

Appreciating the establishment of this Centre at IIT Bombay, he also urged the brains behind C-USE to, "Create manpower and train people in modern town planning, devise a livable index and parameters of living and offer better technological solutions for solid waste management and waste water treatment, among others."
 Computer Knowledge Questions And Answers

The objective behind C-USE is to look at the challenges faced by the urban cities of India and of the developing world in a holistic manner and focus on integrating science and technolgoy alongwith social science and planning to provide solutions to those challenges." He added that the new Centre will do both research as well as provide educaiton required for preparing future mangers of cities. It will also offer training programmes to those already in jobs, in the related domains. Basic Computer Knowledge


C-USE at IIT Bombay endeavours to be an interdisciplinary centre for research, teaching and skilled manpower development with the primary mandate of improving urban quality of life.
 

The Centre aims to combine science and technology with sustainable, equitable and human-friendly design to deliver innovative and holistic services to improve the life of the rapidly urbanizing population in the developing world. 


The research activities of the Centre will focus on new products and solutions related to housing, transport, water management, energy efficiency, urban informatics, health, governance, urban poverty and citizen science while mitigating the effects of natural disasters and climate change," informed Prof. Krithi Ramamritham, Head, C-USE, IIT Bombay. Test Computer Knowledge

C-USE is interlinked to many departments, Centres and groups at IIT Bombay, besides being a member of the international consortium called Centre for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP), based in New York, US. The institute is The institute is also a part of MAGEEP (McDonnell Academy Global Energy and Environment Partnership) - a consortium of 28 universities and corporate partners working together in Energy, Environmental and Sustainability research, education and operations.
 

The Centre intends to start a PhD program in January 2014. It is also working towards developing a postgraduate program in consultation with urban experts around the world. These courses will cover urban domains such as transportation, land use, urban design, water, food, public health, urban informatics and governance, among others.
