What you will study
Cities are where most of the world's needs are met, and where most of the pressure on resources shows up. This specialisation looks at that double role: how urban areas drive growth and identity, and how poor management turns them into heavy consumers of resources and sources of pollution. The teaching builds on international research in the field.
What you study
The specialisation covers sustainable development, urban planning, air pollution, climate change, ecological economics, environmental protection and planning, industrial ecology, material and energy flow analysis, sustainability assessment, and waste and resource management. It also looks at the links between water, energy and food. These are the areas the programme itself lists, not a guess at a module list.
