Sustainable Development: Case Studies in Liverpool City
This module uses the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals 2030 as an analytical framework, and also the city of Liverpool (as a practical classroom, termed “living lab”), to explore and visit case studies of sustainability that are taking place in different urban projects.
This module aims to be taught in a more fun and practical way, rather than too theory focused. Combined with visits, seminars will provide background to local projects and a discussion of the learning objectives.
