Summary

As cities become increasingly central to research, policy-making, and public discourse, understanding their complexities is more important than ever. With the UN predicting that 75% of the global population will reside in cities by 2050, the nature of urbanisation is diverse and multifaceted. Join us and explore the scale and intricacies of modern urbanism through this interdisciplinary Master’s programme.
