Opleiding integraal denkende professionals: MSc Urban Environmental Management and Technology SIKB congres 6 Oktober 2010 Tim Grotenhuis Contact opleiding: Marc Spiller (marc.spiller@wur.nl)
Integrale benadering nodig door: Toenemende verstedelijking Percentage wereldbevolking in steden: 1800 2% World urbanisation trend 1950 30% 2009 50% 2030 schatting: 60% source: http://ec.europa.eu/research/water-initiative/urbanisation_en.html
Steden: bron van verontreiniging op wereldschaal 3% van terrestrisch oppervlak 70% uitputting bronnen en veroorzaking verontreiniging (Wackernagel, 1996) 78% van koolstof carbon emissies 60% van huishoudelijk water gebruik 76% van houtgebruik voor industrie (Brown, 2001)
Key message: Uitgangspunt Integrale opleiding MSc Urban Environmental Mangement (UEM): Governance Environment Spatial planning Technology Steden zijn de motor voor duurzame ontwikkeling UEM MSc is: Interactief onderwijs (i.e. groeps werk, work shops, excursies en internships) Internationale omgeving (i.e. studenten van 5 continents) Internationale context (onderwerpen uit ontwikkelingslanden, de geïndustrialiseerde wereld en opkomende landen Integratie van verschillende disciplines

Course: Principles of urban environmental management Learning outcomes: basic knowledge of four core disciplines: environmental quality and health, urban environmental technology, urban governance urban planning Governance Spatial planning Environment Technology Challenge old ways of thinking about cities Cities as organisms with metabolism Plant cell tissue Urban housing http://www.microscopyuk.org.uk/mag/imgaug99/whole.jpg http://www.landchoices.org/
Course: Basics of urban technology Learning outcome: Fundamental knowledge of state of the art environmental technologies (biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics) Technologies for the treatment / recovery of water, energy and material Challenge old approaches to technology Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage Materials Energy Water Wastewater
Course: Closing energy, water and waste (material) cycles in the urban environment Learning outcome: learn and apply concepts to close resource cycles in urban and peri-urban settings Organic matter/ Biological nutrients to agriculture as the main source of life Close cycles on dangerous substance/ scarce Close cycles to prevent pollution and recover materials
Course: Managing Urban Environmental Infrastructure Learning outcomes: understand urban infrastructure, forms of management and challenges associated with it London s sewer and water pipe network spans 3 times around the world New water and sewage infrastructure for the urban poor (an opportunity for decentralisation) Source: http://sanitationupdates.wordpress.com
Course: Planning and Design of Urban Spaces Learning outcomes: Apply the knowledge gained in previous course to real world cases understand the trade-off involved in planning and apply planning and design tool to develop transitions towards sustainability http://gizmodo.com http://citizenwill.org
