World urbanisation trend
Steden: bron van verontreiniging op wereldschaal •
3% van terrestrisch oppervlak
•
70% uitputting bronnen en veroorzaking verontreiniging (Wackernagel, 1996)
•
78% van koolstof carbon emissies
•
60% van huishoudelijk water gebruik
•
76% van houtgebruik voor industrie (Brown, 2001)
Key message: Uitgangspunt Integrale opleiding MSc Urban Environmental Mangement (UEM):
Governance
Spatial planning
Environment
Technology
Steden zijn de motor voor duurzame ontwikkeling •
UEM MSc is: • Interactief onderwijs (i.e. groeps werk, work shops, excursies en internships) • Internationale omgeving (i.e. studenten van 5 continents) • Internationale context (onderwerpen uit ontwikkelingslanden, de geïndustrialiseerde wereld en opkomende landen • Integratie van verschillende disciplines

Course: Closing energy, water and waste (material) cycles in the urban environment • •
• •
Learning outcome: learn and apply concepts to close resource cycles in urban and peri-urban settings Organic matter/ Biological nutrients to agriculture as the main source of life Close cycles on dangerous substance/ scarce Close cycles to prevent pollution and recover materials
Course: Managing Urban Environmental Infrastructure •
• •
Learning outcomes: • understand urban infrastructure, forms of management and challenges associated with it London’s sewer and water pipe network spans 3 times around the world New water and sewage infrastructure for the urban poor (an opportunity for decentralisation)
