Exploring how to integrate the UN-Habitat NEW URBAN AGENDA in higher education curricula
Between 7 and 9 June 2017, the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment of the TU Delft will organise an Urban Thinkers’ Campus (UTC ) on Higher Education for the New Urban Agenda. The title of our UTC is “EDUCATION FOR THE CITY WE NEED”.
The New Urban Agenda is the outcome document agreed upon at the Habitat III cities conference in Quito, Ecuador, in October 2016 and signed by all the UN member states.
The TU Delft UTC will discuss strategies, methodologies, literature and practical exercises that can be implemented in higher education courses in Europe and elsewhere. Our attention is on social, economic and environmentally sustainable urban development everywhere, but the challenges of urbanisation in the Global South are truly urgent.
