Key facts

The MUSPP programme responds to the call of the 21st Century. Digital technology plays an influential role in shaping our urban futures. Planning urban futures requires experts to not only have digital technology knowledge and skills, but also a good grasp of the multi-dimensional dynamics and interdependencies among systems at work, which make urban areas deeply complex and thus, challenging to manage. Through the programme, students learn to apply appropriate research methods to understand urban phenomena, critically analyse and evaluate issues, and create robust planning and policy interventions.
