Socio-Cultural Futures. Module 1: City Futures

Rapid Urbanisation & Urban Transformation. Module 1 (Lessons 1-4) introduces you to rapid urbanisation and associated challenges: ghettoisation and the loss of agricultural land. The key drivers of “old urbanisation” were industrialisation and globalisation, both motivated by economic growth. The drivers of the new urbanism include sustainability, and the creativity to build cities that value people and planet over profit. We explore why ‘smart cities’ are not always high-tech; how ‘post-industrial’ design can rejuvenate the ghost towns of the industrial era; and the growth in eco-villages, and renewable energy cities.

Solutions go beyond mere access to school, to dive deeply into the quality of education that best prepares young people for global uncertainty, accelerating change and unprecedented complexity.
