How can we shape our urban development towards sustainable and prosperous futures? This course explores sustainable cities as engines for greening the economy.
We place cities in the context of sustainable urban transformation and climate change.
Sustainable urban transformation refers to structural transformation processes (radical and multidimensional change) that can effectively steer urban development towards ambitious climate and sustainability goals.
We connect the key trends of urbanization, decarbonization and sustainability.
We examine visions, experiments and innovations in urban areas.
And we look at practices (what's happening in cities today) and opportunities (what are the chances of cities moving into the future).
This course provides key examples of activities to promote sustainable cities in Scandinavia, Europe and around the world.
We put together a collection of various short films and short key readings on sustainable cities, as well as interactive forums and a practical task to create an online learning community.
This course is produced by Lund University in cooperation with WWF Cities and ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability.
It's available for free to everyone, everywhere!
