About This Course

Sustainable Cities & Urban Development answers the defining question of this century: how do cities grow without destroying the systems they depend on? Modules cover the urban sustainability challenge and its costs, what sustainable cities actually are and how progress is measured, the core pillars of design (land use, mobility, green infrastructure, inclusion), enabling systems of governance and finance, co-creation with communities, financing and implementation, and global practices in action — ending with a capstone on your own city initiative.
