Bringing innovative solutions to post-industrial cities
One in five cities in the world has a (post-)industrial legacy and therefore needs corresponding expertise for sustainable, resilient and competitive urban development. The program is designed to provide students with multiple opportunities to enhance their employability by engaging with real-world urban challenges.
The English-language RePIC program aims to attract future urban designers, managers, and curators from a wide range of disciplines and countries who wish to contribute to the realization of the United Nations New Urban Agenda and the urban dimensions of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The program goes beyond existing urban planning offerings and includes topics such as: superdiversity in urban contexts; innovation and digitization of public administration; governance and management of open spaces; resilient cities, healthy urbanism in European cities; cultural economy, heritage economy, and tourism; trends reshaping climate and energy transnational migration, urban social movements, and the "right to the city."
