Programme summary
The world we live in is increasingly an urban one. Over the past half century, a great population shift has occurred from rural to urban areas. Cities now hold half of the world’s population and it is estimated that three out of every five people will live in an urban environment by 2030. This development calls for control of the environmental impacts of urbanisation such as growing traffic, increasing waste emissions, deteriorating air and water quality, and rising energy and resource consumption. Sustainable management of the urban environment has become one of the key challenges for the future.

Nearly three-quarters of the world’s urban population lives in African, Asian and Latin-American cities, and they will absorb most of the projected population increase until 2030. The speed and scale of urbanisation in the developing world (megacities and large urban areas) is of particular concern as many cities are incapable of providing sufficient housing and basic urban services. Inadequate water supply, sanitation, waste collection and waste management systems are the cause of serious urban pollution and health hazards. The challenge is to learn how to live with urbanisation, taking advantage of its benefits, while guiding undesirable and negative impacts in a manageable direction(www.unep.org/geo/geo3/).

Your future career
Graduates of the MSc Urban Environmental Management programme are well equipped with the skills and knowledge to continue their academic training as a PhD student or to begin or continue careers in city management, environmental research, urban planning, environmental consulting, water and waste management and transport, and construction and building stock management.
