The FCRI is a joint collaboration, built on existing strengths and research collaborations between Sunway University and Lancaster University. The Institute will complement the work of the Jeffrey Sachs Centre on Sustainability Development, and capitalise on Sunway’s pioneering leadership in developing sustainable urban environments in Malaysia, and Lancaster’s extensive track record and international reputation for research in ‘cities and surrounding hinterlands’.
