Air Pollution in Megacities
Welcome to the website of the Integrated Program on Urban, Regional and Global Air Pollution, a collaborative research and education program initiated at MIT in 1999 to address the urban, regional and global air pollution problems stemming from human activities in megacities in a coordinated and interdisciplinary manner.
Mexico City Case Study
The initial focus of the Integrated Program on Urban, Regional and Global
Air Pollution is the air pollution problem in the Mexico City Metropolitan
Area. This binational Mexico-US case study (Mexico City Program) involves
the participation of a multidisciplinary group of researchers from more than
a dozen Mexican institutions working in close collaboration with researchers
at MIT and other US and international institutions and the active collaboration
with Mexican government officials and decision makers.
