This innovative and relevant minor has no equal because it is truly transdisciplinary (design, social and spatial studies work together), and you will be taught by experts from these fields while working on "real life" projects. Students from diverse cultural and educational backgrounds are an interesting learning community in this minor. 

You will develop new skills and knowledge in the areas of multidisciplinary teamwork, the interaction of people and spaces, places and communities with a view to forming improved, future-proof urban environments.

We all know neighbourhoods or districts that could use a quality boost or improvement. This change could take the form of physical, economic or social interventions and measures. Closely examining the area and surveying the users will enable you to gain first-hand insight into what current concerns are and where a change is perhaps needed to boost the area. This intervention, which should take account of relevant trends and developments, will ensure that the area is designed and/or organised in a future-proof manner.
 

On completion of this minor, you will be able to answer the following question:
How can we apply adaptive design and organisation to encourage integrated urban regeneration in a manner that involves all stakeholders in current as well as future regeneration processes at both local and regional level?
 
Over the course of the Urban Regeneration minor, students will practise innovative thinking as well as collaborate with other study programmes and cultures. They will also gain insight and experience in terms of interaction between people and the environment, as well as explore and design solutions to help create an adaptive, future-proof environment for the residents/users.
 
Ultimately, students should acquire the techniques that they need to participate successfully in integrated urban renewal.
