About

International Course on Sustainable Urban Development at Erasmus University Rotterdam gives you the opportunity to merge an academic specialisation course with a multidisciplinary project where you apply theory into practice.

Overview

Key facts:

  • Based on your choice you will learn more on how to address urban challenges with a focus on housing, planning, land, infrastructure, finance, environment, climate change and economic development. As the programme is combined with UMD it provides those interested in the MSc programme a sample of the entire course.
  • The multidisciplinary project of Sustainable Urban Development at the Erasmus University Rotterdam requires you to address an urban challenge in Rotterdam. Every year the project changes as you get to work for the city of Rotterdam on contemporary urban management issues. Participants have worked on sustainable strategies for a post-war residential high-rise neighbourhood, reinventing the use of a former factory building and its surroundings in a former city harbour and the sustainable redevelopment of an industrial area and improving the residential neighbourhood. 
  • Although the projects change they are characterised by the fact that they are commissioned by stakeholders in the city, they require a multidisciplinary approach and they are supported by specific action planning methods to address the challenges presented. Lastly, most projects link to the cross-cutting theme of heritage.

Programme Structure

You will share classes with the MSc in Urban Management and Development (UMD) students as you choose your own individual learning track through one of the six UMD specialisation courses:

  • Urban Strategies and Planning
  • Urban Environment, Sustainability and Climate Change
  • Managing & Financing Urban Infrastructure
  • Urban Land Governance
  • Urban Competitiveness and Resilience
  • Urban Housing, Equity and Social Justice

Based on your choice you will learn more on how to address urban challenges with a focus on housing, planning, land, infrastructure, finance, environment, climate change and economic development. 

Audience

If you are an urban professional with at least 3 years of working or research experience looking for an opportunity to boost your academic learning while applying it to practice then this course is right for you.
