The urban world is transforming. Cities are being reshaped by a series of instabilities and crises. Climate change, intensifying inequalities and vulnerabilities, global migration, war and conflict, technological transformation, new patterns of work and living, and geographical sprawl are generating a sustained period of turbulence. How in the face of overlapping crises, insecurity and uncertainty, can human and non-human life survive and thrive in the city? How can sustainable urban futures be cultivated in the midst of changes in global cities?The MSc in Cities and Sustainable Futures addresses these urgent questions by focusing on how global cities are being made and remade in relation to climate change and other challenges, different experiences of city life amid crisis, and a range of urban alternatives and experiments. You’ll learn about how cities around the world are adapting to a range of challenges, including climate change, in the context of wider efforts to generate sustainable futures. You will also develop a series of research skills and gain experience of working with partners, alongside the leadership and engagement and communication skills necessary to help create sustainable cities.
