Thanks to this postgraduate certificate you will be part of the solution that offers a new model of urban infrastructure"

In view of the environmental damage caused by the growth of cities, the European Union has established a strategy aimed at protecting, restoring and enhancing biodiversity and the ecosystem services it provides. To this end, the priority challenge is to halt this deterioration and restore degraded areas by introducing a new concept in territorial planning, known as Green Infrastructure. This network of natural and semi-natural spaces requires specialized engineers to reduce the risk of fragmentation of habitats or to allow the connection between green areas. There is thus a growing demand for profiles in this area. 

Therefore, the postgraduate certificate in Strategic Urban Green Infrastructure Planning offers students the opportunity to learn the whys and wherefores of this planning, which allows the transfer of a city model according to objectives aligned with international urban agendas. The program achieves, in this way, to propose a more agile territorial planning to adapt to social changes, developing impact actions in key areas.

A program that, with this approach, will launch the professional careers of students, following a highly flexible modality. In this line, the postgraduate certificate is taught 100% online and the students will set the pace at all times, while accessing a complete digital library of resources on the subject.
