Quick Facts:

You’ll develop a critical understanding of planning approaches and methodologies fit for the 21st century. At the same time, you’ll see how the sector can tackle urgent global issues such as climate change, resource scarcity, and social inequalities in cities.
You’ll explore the social, environmental, and economic impacts of infrastructure development. And discover different approaches to enable informed and inclusive decision-making in rapidly growing cities.
You can take part in an international field trip. In recent years we have been visiting Rio de Janeiro. This gives you hands-on experience of processes of urban change and policy challenges in the urban context.
With a module focused on finance, you’ll look at financing strategies, financial appraisals, funding models, and cost recovery options. Our students enjoy the practice-based module. It gives you the chance to collaborate with practitioners and local stakeholders to propose infrastructure projects abroad or locally.
