Planning for Sustainable Urbanism introduces students to how cities can respond to sustainability challenges such as climate change, social inequality and resources use. The module explores key ideas and debates shaping sustainable urban development, with particular attention to transport, housing and communities as central elements of urban life. Students examine how planners and policymakers work with global frameworks and local contexts to create more inclusive, low-carbon and resilient cities. Through lectures, discussion and applied learning activities, students develop critical thinking and analytical skills and learn to evaluate real-world planning approaches. Assessment supports students in building informed arguments about sustainable urbanism and reflecting on the environmental, social, economic and governance dimensions of contemporary practice.
