Green Infrastructure and Urban Planning focuses on integrating sustainable practices into urban development. This course is structured to provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to design, implement, and manage green infrastructure projects that enhance urban environments. Participants will engage in project-based learning, allowing them to apply theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios, fostering a deeper understanding of the complexities involved in urban planning.
Through interactive sessions, participants will explore various aspects of landscape design, environmental management, and urban ecology. The course emphasizes collaborative work, encouraging participants to publish their findings and projects in Cademix Magazine. This approach not only enhances learning but also contributes to the broader discourse on sustainable urban development. By the end of the program, participants will be equipped with practical tools and insights to influence urban planning practices positively.
