Urban populations are growing rapidly and cities need to be at the forefront in addressing the accompanying health challenges. Recently COVID-19 has only added to this complex.
The University of Copenhagen, School of Global Health, offers a
5 ECTS summer course on Urbanisation and Health to qualify the future workforce in all fields of urban health and planning to come up with sustainable solutions.
The course will focus on promotion of health and well-being in the urban environment across age groups and socio-economic positions. It will include modules on urban transitions, demography, blue and green infrastructure, adaptation to climate change, air and noise pollution, mobility and place-making.
