Cities are expanding rapidly, placing pressure on land, water, and environmental resources. Geosciences provide critical insights into soil, water, energy, and hazard risks that shape urban sustainability. This Sustainable Urban Development and Geosciences Training Course explores the intersection of urban planning and geoscience to create resilient, sustainable, and well-managed cities.
Participants will analyze how urbanization interacts with natural systems, examine tools for risk management, and explore policies and practices for sustainable land use. Through case studies and applied exercises, they will gain practical skills to integrate geoscience into urban planning and development strategies.
By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to guide urban growth while safeguarding natural resources and promoting sustainable communities.
This course uses expert-led lectures, case studies, group discussions, and geospatial analysis exercises. Participants will apply practical methods to real-world urban sustainability challenges.
