Greening the Economy - Sustainable Cities : Course Guide

McCormick, Kes LU (2020)
Abstract
How can we shape our urban development towards sustainable and prosperous futures? This course explores sustainable cities as engines for greening the economy in Europe and around the world. We place cities in the context of sustainable urban transformation and climate change. We connect the key trends of urbanization, decarbonisation and sustainability. We examine how visions, experiments and innovations can transform urban areas. And we look at practices (what is happening in cities at present) and opportunities (what are the possibilities for cities going forwards into the future). This course was launched in January 2016, and updated in September 2021 with new podcasts, films and publications. The course is produced by Lund University... (More)
