Building Sustainable Cities offers a comprehensive exploration of urban sustainability and resilience through three distinct courses. The first course, Climate Resilience & Urban Sustainability, equips you with a toolkit of best practices and case studies to address urban challenges. You will gain insights into the history of urban development and the impact of climate change, while engaging with challenges in the built environment like urban heat and flood risk through practical examples. The second course, Policy, Technology, and Carbon-Free Cities, empowers you to apply policy and technology innovations to strengthen community resilience. It emphasizes the role of local governments and citizens, and explores strategies such as carbon removal and smart city innovations. The final course, Sustainable Cities Case Studies, guides you through an analysis of real-world strategies for urban sustainability and resilience, through a focus on four cities: Lahaina, Washington DC, Copenhagen, and Singapore. This course provides a global perspective on best practices, preparing you to contribute effectively to urban resilience initiatives.
