About this course
How is climate change reshaping the way we design, govern, and live in urban environments? How do planners navigate the uncertainties of future climate scenarios? This course examines how urban areas across Europe integrate climate action into planning, exploring real-world cases and on-the-ground urban studies. Through an analytical and experiential journey of the evolving landscape of climate-resilient cities, we examine real-world case studies, engage in urban explorations in Copenhagen, and unpack the tensions, synergies, and trade-offs between mitigation and adaptation strategies. By the end of the course, you will have developed the analytical skills needed to contribute to the climate-proof cities of tomorrow.
