Presentation

While the EU aims to be climate-neutral by 2050 - an objective at the heart of the European Green Deal and in line with the EU’s commitment to global climate action under the Paris Agreement -, this Executive Master intends to:
  • describe and develop the levers towards a carbon-neutral and resilient city. These levers are related to all urban systems through needed material and energy, but also related to actions aiming to a better resilience towards climate change.
  • design a Climate Carbon-Neutral Strategy allowing to mobilise the entire potentials of the urban system and in particular to reintegrate a dynamic process on the triptical system Social – Environment – Territory. 

The Executive Master Courses are delivered by high-level experts from different ULB faculties, but also by external experts from international partner universities and European / global organisations, such as UN-Habitat and the European Commission. The Executive Master is contributing to the New European Bauhaus initiative of the European Commission and is acknowledged by the World Urban Campaign of UN-Habitat.

Programme

Cities and metropolises worldwide are reinventing themselves in order to adapt to the global climate change challenges. At the beginning of the third Millenium, sustainable development as a response to the climate trends calls to a new, radical transformation of the urban humanity, where everyone needs to act responsibly. A great amount of cities have to rethink their energy resources consumption, as well as their food and material resources management. The City Scan Method reveals a constellation of different, interconnected systems. While checking their system connections, climate challenges demonstrate that their effectiveness depends mostly from their mutual interaction and their synergies – similar to the chemical chain reactions in human metabolism. For future cities, there is the need to think and start the urban mutations from topics connected to the environment: not only planning our urban forms, but also to unleash evolution potentials, tangibles or not.
