Overview

Course Description

The Smart and Sustainable Cities programme of Trinity College Dublin, which is the first dedicated programme of its kind, will provide students with an in-depth understanding of smart and sustainable cities, using

the tools of urban geography and planning to examine the spatial formation of smart cities;

methods in engineering and computer science to analyze the functions and applications of smart technologies, and

insights from ecology to explore the environmental impact of both ‘smart-city projects’ and wider transformations of contemporary cities.

The programme is thus of interest to a wide range of students from different backgrounds. Career options after graduation include working in urban planning and in the private sector engaged in smart city initiatives.
