Achieving healthier and more sustainable urban environments is one of the SDG included in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Combining health and sustainability criteria in urban design and planning is needed to mitigate climate change and improve people's well-being. This master’s degree programme seeks to respond to this global challenge by placing citizens at the heart of urban transformation projects.

Nowadays, a wealth of research focusing on the assessment of the impact of environmental factors on public health is available. However, a structured body of knowledge on concepts, tools and methods to support urban design solutions adapted to each context is lacking. The general goal of this master’s degree programme is to fill this gap by exploring and discussing specific solutions based on real cases. Barcelona offers multiple opportunities to learn about urban design and planning linked to health and sustainability. Practitioners in charge of working on significant examples of this will participate in the course.
