Improving urban transportation systems can go a long way toward reducing carbon emissions.  To study the problem and create solutions, MIT and three universities in Singapore have joined forces for five years.  Results of the study will be used to make changes to other urban transportation corridors around the world.]]>Fresh water scarcity is going to become a bigger world problem.
