Sustainable Urban Development

Did you know that cities take up less than 3% of the earth’s land surface, but more than 50% of the world’s population live in them? And, cities generate more than 70% of global emissions? Large cities and their hinterlands (jointly called metropolitan regions ) greatly contribute to global urbanization and sustainability challenges, yet are also key to resolving these same challenges.

If you are interested in the challenges of the 21st-century metropolitan regions and how these can be solved from within the city and by its inhabitants, then this Sustainable Urban Development course is for you – Arjan van Timmeren, Huub H.M.
