Thanks to this Postgraduate certificate you will contribute to making Urban Social Infrastructures greener and healthier”

The fact that more than 55% of the world's citizens live in cities implies several health problems, especially in the most polluting ones. For this reason, it is essential to bet on urban parks, which have been revealed as agents that improve air quality. In this line, they capture pollutants such as SOx, NOx, COx and other harmful particles. Because of this, the growth of green infrastructure in cities should also be extended to these social spaces, in order to maximize the benefits they provide. 

This is why the conception of the park from a citizen's perspective makes it necessary to think about and implement participation models that ensure the appropriation of public space. But it is important to remember that managing a park is not a simple task, since it involves a myriad of relationships and knowledge that make it a multidisciplinary task.   

Consequently, engineering profiles focused on the design of green and healthy parks are necessary. The Postgraduate certificate in Urban Social Infrastructures offers the perfect preparation for this task, with a 100% online format that provides the students with all the facilities, being the owner of their own learning.
