Furthermore, the newly created Dell Medical School, located on the main campus, presents great opportunities for joint research and education on community health.

Located in Austin, the state capital, and widely rated as one of America's most desirable places to live, the Program has a long history of research and other collaboration with professionals, public officials and community-based organizations working on planning and related issues in a city known for extensive public involvement and a commitment to sustainable urban development.
