Sustainable Design and Development

Catalog description

This online, asynchronous course focuses on the global, regional and local environmental and social impacts of development. We explore sustainable design and development strategies and examine exemplary case studies in the following areas: climate change; ecosystems; water systems; food systems; material, resource and waste systems; building and energy systems; and cities and communities. Select UN Sustainable Development Goals provide a framework for this course and allow us to examine issues of equity as they relate to these goals.
