Sustainable Development

Buildings and urban environments represent a major source of human impact on natural ecosystems and sustainable development has now become a major concern of urban policy, planning, design and management.

There is an increased demand for built environment and related professionals to develop knowledge and skills appropriate to sustainable development, and an expansion of specialised career opportunities in both the public and private sector. The Program assists in building key skills to serve growing professional needs. The Program helps to develop a broad understanding of the critical issues as they affect the built environment.
