CSR’s Director and Associate Professor Lin Lerpold has together with Professor Örjan Sjöberg published research which examines the sustainability of urban living, as urban areas are often portrayed as an opportunity to reduce environmental impacts. Highlighting amongst other things that the very nature of the agglomeration economies that allow for economising on natural resources may result in higher levels of consumption. They further explain the issue of 'ontological cityism' (the inter-urban issues of boundary drawing for measurement) when considering a city’s sustainability.

By its very nature the informal sector includes economic activity that lies outside the government regulation or taxation. The environmental degradation produced within the informal sector activities thus present additional challenges. Nearly 35 (15) percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in low and middle income (advanced) economies is generated within the informal sector. According to the ILO more than 6 workers in 10 and 4 enterprises out of 5 in the world operate in the informal economy. CSR's Ranjula Bali Swain and University of Reading’s Uma Kambhampati have recently published a book on this theme.
