关于即将到来的城市化速度的最新数据和预测使城市成为现在和将来最常见的居住环境。居住在现有或发展中城市的70亿人口将过什么样的生活。城市具有巨大的潜力，但同时也是压力，不平等和污染的根源。2015年，联合国通过《 2030年可持续发展议程》认识到了这一点，其中包括17个新的可持续发展目标。目标11致力于城市住区，旨在“使城市具有包容性，安全性，复原力和可持续性”。这意味着正确设计城市从未如此重要。问题是：我们应该采用哪种设计，谁来负责。我们的课程明确解决了这些问题，并讲授如何为所有居民设计快速响应，有弹性，
Study with us study theories and approaches to the design and management of the city in relation to current and predicted urban challengesdesigned for both students and practitioners, the course treats the city as a complex, dynamic systemwork in a multidisciplinary, international and design-centred learning environment where ideas and theories will be tested through design, via live commissions with clients Why this course Recent data and predictions on the forthcoming rate of urbanisation make cities the most common living environment now and in the future. What kind of life will it be for the seven billion people who will live in existing or developing cities Cities hold tremendous potential, but at the same time are sources of stress, inequalities and pollution. In 2015, the United Nations recognised this through the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which included 17 new Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Goal 11 is dedicated to urban settlements, with the aim to 'Make Cities Inclusive, Safe, Resilient and Sustainable'. This means that getting the design of cities right has never been so important. The questions are: what kind of design should we adopt, and who should be in charge Our course explicitly addresses these questions, and teaches how to design responsive, resilient, sustainable cities for all their inhabitants, thus preparing socially responsible urban design professionals of the future. This innovative course is based on the Urban Design Studies Unit's cutting-edge research in design, urban analytics, morphology and theory.
