Development of cities/regions and the human impact
Delve into urban sociology and planning and help develop the sustainable cities of the future.
You can gain insight into the newest research on the interplay between social processes and human usage of cities to understand the current trends and future possibilities. Learn about socio-economic factors that affect the development of cities and entire regions within the broader perspectives of industry and labour. Or familiarise yourself with the newest trends within urban development.
The green cities of the future
In order to prevent the degradation and loss of biodiversity, it’s necessary to re-evaluate and increase nature’s place inside the cities. At the same time, cities must be equipped to handle climate changes. That’s why you can strengthen your knowledge through current research on biodiversity, the consequences of climate changes in cities, and how to adjust for this. In these courses you can familiarise yourself with risk management and emergency planning amongst other subjects. Enhance your skillset by learning how to develop green infrastructure such as parks, urban open spaces, town forests, and more. You can also learn how to establish and manage tree projects, urban food systems, and new methods of cultivation such as agro-forestry and forest gardening.
