Learning Approach & Activities

Using problem-based learning approaches and systems thinking, students will develop introductory skills in urban ecology, planning and design, governance, and management. These introductory skills will be applied to real-world examples in urban or peri-urban landscape cases, helping them to develop analytical and practical experience for success in their future careers. It is expected that students will conduct collaborative work with peers, and learn to integrate theories and concepts from other disciplines such as Forestry, Plant Science, Ecology, Landscape Architecture, Planning, Sociology, and Environmental Economics.
