Urban Ecological Planning Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)

Overview

Urban planners are responsible for creating and implementing plans that guide the growth and development of urban areas, and they play a critical role in addressing some of the most pressing issues of our time, such as affordable housing, sustainable transportation, and climate change. As global challenges such as migration, conflict and extreme climate events caused by climate change increasingly affect urban dwellers, urban planning will have to address these uncertainties, while at the same time ensuring inclusive and positive change that leaves no one behind. 

The Urban Ecological Planning program at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)  will equip you to bridge the cross disciplinary knowledge required to work with strategic spatial change in the context of increasing inequality, uncertainty and stretched/ limited institutional capacity.
