Postgraduate certificate Sustainable Urban Infrastructure Planning

Current urban development poses numerous problems that will increase in the future due to lack of planning. In its State of the World's Cities Report, UN-Habitat has warned that continuing with this trend will lead to increased inequality, the growth of 'slums' and catastrophic impacts on the climate. In this sense, a commitment to responsible development becomes a sine qua non condition for sustainable and prosperous societies. This is the focus of this TECH program, specializing engineers in strategies and initiatives on Urban and Peri-urban Green Infrastructure with a 100% online methodology with a novel and highly effective approach.

Introduction to the Program

Thanks to this Postgraduate certificate you will contribute to the sustainability of the planet by specializing in innovative Urban Green Infrastructure solutions"

More than one fifth of the world's population lives in just 600 cities on the planet, according to data collected by the UN. This trend will be on the rise and two-thirds of all citizens are expected to reside in urban areas by 2030. Undoubtedly, this increases the need for this challenge to be faced following criteria of responsible Urbanism, something to which TECH's teaching team has paid special attention to develop this Postgraduate certificate in Sustainable Urban Infrastructure Planning.

With this program, students will learn to examine the different global contexts of reference for Sustainable Urban Development. To this end, the background to the current context will be analyzed in order to deepen the knowledge of the areas of action that are being pursued today. These are the Sustainable Development Goals, the Urban Agendas or the UN-Habitat plans, among others.

In this way, students will learn more about each of the Urban Sustainability initiatives, their objectives, commitments, roadmaps, indicator systems, etcetera. Along these lines, the program includes references to the objectives and strategies on which Green Infrastructure has the greatest presence. This approach makes it possible, in short, to develop strategies and action plans with a more holistic, cross-cutting vision and greater impact.
