Humankind is currently witnessing the biggest spell of urbanization in its history at the same time as critical environmental issues — climate change, water pollution and the like — are coming to a head.

As populations grow and coalesce around urban centers, the quality of life for billions of city dwellers will depend on how policymakers and business leaders react to the twin challenges of urbanization and sustainability.

The team behind Waste Dive, Utility Dive and Construction Dive have joined together to relaunch Sustainable Cities Collective as Smart Cities Dive, a new resource to help leaders address issues making systems that are more sustainable, connected and livable. Through timely news coverage and thoughtful analysis, the publication seeks to further the dialogue about urban sustainability and connectivity so business leaders and policymakers can stay ahead of the curve.
