Course contents:
This course explores the contribution and role of technical systems to sustainable city development by analyzing the challenges and opportunities that are connected to technical systems in this context. A precondition for sustainable city development is to have a holistic view and integrated approach, not only regarding the technical systems but also with respect to the processes and actors involved. This course will give the students an understanding of how technical systems have and are continuously developed and what processes and actors that have been and are important for a sustainable city development. Lectures, a study project, and seminars will together create a deeper theoretical understanding for sustainable city development. The accumulated theoretical knowledge will be translated into practice in an applied case study project and in a reflective individual assignment.
