Module 1: Driving Sustainability in Building a Smart City (Classroom, Synchronous and Asynchronous e-Learning)
About This Course
The concept of sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) is becoming increasingly important in the development of smart cities and the built environment. The pressure is mounting to address climate crisis and more stakeholders are expecting that companies and cities make sustainable development a priority.
In the quest to create more livable, efficient, and environmentally friendly urban environments, the concept of a ""Smart City"" has emerged as a promising solution. A Smart City utilises cutting-edge technology and data-driven approaches to improve the quality of life for its residents while minimizing its environmental footprint.
This module aims to explore the integration of sustainable practices and innovation within the framework of building a Smart City. There will be case studies, break-out sessions and group presentations to enhance the understanding amongst learners and enable active engagement towards critical thinking, building teamwork and application of learnt subjects on specific problem statements at work place.
