Urban policy and urban science are at a critical juncture. Many policymakers and scientists gathered for a once-in-twenty-years opportunity of the Habitat III summit that launched the UN鈥檚 New Urban in Quito in October 2016听both reiterated how this momentous occasion was flawed by poor science-policy interfaces. Science, as argued in Nature, is 鈥渄isparate, marginalized and ill-prepared to interact effectively with global policy鈥�, whilst as other argued evidence-based policymaking is 鈥渄ysfunctional in many parts of the world.鈥�

To redress these limits and advance the development of more integrated (cross-disciplinary) and policy-engaged research on cities, , the new interdisciplinary journal of Nature Research, and the City Leadership Lab at 果冻影院 have established a ground-breaking Expert Panel on the urban science-policy interface for global sustainability.
