Course summary
For the first time in human history, over 50% of people around the world live in cities. The expanding growth of megacities (currently 28) is leading to the creation of megaregions. All urban environments impose pressure upon the environment; however, climate change will test the resilience of our current infrastructure beyond anything experienced so far. Climate change also presents us with challenging opportunities.This course is designed to develop the skills and knowledge required for the future green economy – enabling increased efficiency of resource use whilst creating more equitable communities. You will study how sustainable solutions can be incorporated into the infrastructure of our built environments, such as integrated transport systems, energy efficient buildings, urban villages, brownfield development, and green technology, including green roofs and sustainable urban drainage systems.The course is composed of modules from Architecture, Construction, Environmental Health, Engineering as well as Geography. Notable key modules include Climate Change, Sustainability and Smart Cities, consecutive geo-spatial modules Geography of the Urban Landscape (level 4), The Digital Environment (level 5) culminating in Geo-BIM (level 6) and the final-year site-specific research module, Brownfield Regeneration.
