MSc Technology for Sustainable Cities with Advanced Practice [London] in London United Kingdom | Northumbria University

According to UN projections, 68% of the global population will reside in urban regions by 2050 - an increase of 2.5 billion people compared to current figures. This accelerated urban growth coincides with worldwide efforts to lower emissions. Urban centers are believed to generate approximately 80% of global CO2 emissions. Consequently, contemporary leaders, city planners, technical experts, and architects face the crucial task of enabling sustainable urban expansion that minimizes emissions, optimizes efficiency, and fosters culturally vibrant living environments.
