Designing Cities For All

About the course

A multi-disciplinary program conducted by experts from various countries will explain how thinking simultaneously on issues of housing & urban planning, landscape, and infrastructure can lead to equitable cities for all. The course is specially crafted for mid to senior-level professionals from the public and/or private sector – government, developers, architects, urban designers, financiers, consultants and academicians who together constitute the symbiotic ecosystem for designing inclusive and climate-resilient cities. While the faculty of IHS will expound/expand on their academic knowledge, the professionals of the MLC Academy will help ground these ideas in the reality of cities. Onsite visits have been organised to various infrastructure and sustainable urban projects.

The course would cover these broad themes:

• Ethics and processes of designing cities for all
• Social housing
• Principles of equitable urban planning
• Landscape and ecology for inclusive cities
• Designing public spaces for all

All participants will receive a certificate from IHS-MLC Academy on completing the course successfully.
