Descripción

To provide a conceptual and methodological basis for planning and designing urban systems based on the principles of well-being and sustainability.

Healthy Cities and Sustainable Cities are two sides of the same coin: both place citizens’ well-being and sustainability at the heart of urban transformation. There is currently a lack of programmes that address this need for urban planners and designers who are trained to achieve some of the sustainable development goals in a comprehensive manner through urban design.

This master’s degree was set up in response to this situation, to provide a conceptual and methodological basis for planning and designing the city based on well-being and sustainability principles, and addresses both the professional and research dimensions. Regarding the former, experts trained to promote wellbeing and good health for citizens through sustainable urban design and planning are needed. In relation to the latter, new research approaches to study the links between complex urban systems and health are also necessary.

A quién va dirigido

Main recipients: architects, urban designers, urban planners, landscape designers, civil engineers, students from all disciplines involved in the design, management, physical planning of the city.

Secondary recipients: environmental scientists, urban geographers, students from all disciplines who (despite the fact they do not intervene directly in the physical transformation of cities) generate the urban cartographies that are necessary to transform them.

Objetivos

  1. To provide knowledge on metrics, tools and methods from areas such as ecology, engineering, urban planning, urban design, urban geography, psychology, sociology and economics, to address the transition towards healthier urban environments.
  2. To provide knowledge on the scientific evidence available about the environmental, social, cultural and economic factors that influence people’s health and well-being.
  3. To provide knowledge on a wide array of emblematic healthy urban actions –from policies and regulations to planning and design.
  4. To teach students skills to help them to plan, execute and communicate strategicurban transformations aimed at enhancing public health and well-being.
