About the course

Recent data and predictions on the forthcoming rate of urbanisation make cities the most common living environment now and in the future. Cities hold tremendous potential, but at the same time are sources of stress, inequalities and pollution. In 2015, the United Nations recognised this through the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which included 17 new Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Goal 11 is dedicated to urban settlements, with the aim to 'Make Cities Inclusive, Safe, Resilient and Sustainable'. Our course explicitly addresses these questions, and teaches how to design responsive, resilient, sustainable cities for all their inhabitants, thus preparing socially responsible urban design professionals of the future. This innovative course is based on the Urban Design Studies Unit's cutting-edge research in design, urban analytics, morphology and theory. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
