Summary
The climate emergency demands new ways of thinking about the relationships between land, cities, and human development. This programme brings together graduates and professionals from diverse backgrounds to explore what truly sustainable places look and feel like, and how they can be created.
You will learn from foundational thinkers, explore global agendas and institutions such as UN-Habitat, and study real-world case studies such as zero waste towns and community-supported agriculture. Working with experts and partners, you will design sustainability interventions for places that matter to you.
Sustainability is explored in both rural and urban environments, harnessing practices of smart growth, understanding planetary boundaries, and advocating for justice and equity.
