A central approach embedded in the specialization courses is the role of experimentation in urban change. In particular, urban learning labs are emphasized as a means of promoting change in cities and communities toward sustainable, environmentally friendly, just, healthy, and prosperous futures. Experimentation within urban learning labs offers the potential for accelerating change and systemic learning in urban and national contexts.
Learners are exposed to key facts and insights about sustainable cities and communities as engines for greening the economy, and are then asked to develop this understanding through reading and hands-on exercises that highlight the role of urban learning labs in creating sustainable cities and communities.
Additional documentation and valid questions will provide you with critical thinking and a broader, deeper perspective, which are essential for understanding and creating sustainable cities and communities.
