Overordnede kursusmål:

The course aims to provide students with an opportunity to gain insights based on models, concepts and theories as well as practical hands on experience with real world projects in relation to urban metabolism. Focus is on aspects related to organization, multi-stakeholder management, public-private partnerships, innovation, entrepreneurship, LCA, cradle-to-cradle design, and market aspects.


Læringsmål:

En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
  • To demonstrate an understanding of how, why and when to apply relevant models, concepts and theories from the curriculum to the selected projects
  • To identify and analyze the relationships between these models, concepts and theories mutually and in relation to the selected projects.
  • To assess critically the value of these models, concepts and theories for developing green innovations in relation to the selected projects.

Kursusindhold:

The course focuses on sustainable approaches for resource utilization by (re-)designing urban systems. Relevant urban flows comprising the metabolism of the city can be categorized as 1) the technical cycle and 2) the biological cycle. In the course, the students will work with case topics that are relevant to the study of urban metabolism and cradle-to-cradle design. Examples of such topics in an urban context is a) food waste b) analysis of and scenarios for the flow of citizens, goods and services c) waste handling, source separation and life-cycle analysis d) bicycle lanes and accessibility. These topics and the course in general are developed in collaboration with Copenhagen University, Science and Technical University of Denmark. Students work in teams on selected project themes. Presentation of the solutions developed by the student teams to relevant stakeholders is a central element of the course. This is supported by general and project specific lectures.
