Governing Climate Resilient Cities

This Course is the result of a partnership of UN Habitat and the University of Pisa. It addresses the government and policymaking concerning climate resilient cities, by adopting an interdisciplinary, comparative approach and by discussing best practices and solutions.

The Course targets primarily policy makers, public servants and practitioners, presenting theoretical and academic contents together with practical examples. Specific topics to be dealt with by the individual lecture-givers will be pinpointed according to the evolution of the fields, under which the School falls.

The program will be activated also in distance learning mode (TEAMS platform).
