One of the key characteristics that sets the program apart is its unique alliance between industry and academics. The contributions of the Sustainable Infrastructure Advisory Board are developed in tandem with research initiatives at Harvard's Graduate School of Design.

These include courses offered in association with the Zofnass Program, publications exploring developments in the field, case studies, conferences, workshops, and books.

The latest workshop with SIAB Members present took place on April 21, 2011 and was themed "Sustainable Infrastructure: Who Pays? Who Benefits?"

This workshop explored the idea that Infrastructure aims primarily to achieve socio-economic objectives but should also be environmentally friendly. It consisted of a panel that addressed the balance between socio-economic and environmental priorities in large-scale infrastructure projects and examined how to build a compelling argument for sustainable infrastructure development, focusing on costs and benefits.

This workshop featured extensive dialogue and interaction between all members present, with invaluable input from SIAB members. Feel free to browse photos from the event here.
