This master's degree is an innovative, international and multidisciplinary education program that teaches students how to operationalize the most urgent calls for building more resilient and sustainable cities through urban planning and design, and how to frame adequate policies and governance models. This one-year program provides the most up-to-date perspectives, methods, and tools for dealing with the threat of climate change, natural disasters and the social and technical transformations required to minimize the environmental impact of the current global urbanization trends while addressing social justice.
In a world increasingly threatened by complex and rapid urbanization and environmental, climatic, and socio-economic change, this program was created to meet the city practitioners' need to understand better and frame integrated strategies when implementing urban resilience policies and projects. At the same time, resilience is being addressed by different disciplines and from a wide range of perspectives, which sometimes conflict in their meanings, approaches, and methods, leading to a fragmented and confusing framing of urban resilience. This master's program provides the necessary interdisciplinary bridges, linking an integrated perspective on urban resilience to the management tools needed to design and implement city resilience.
The Master's Degree in City Resilience Design and Management is a one-year, full-time master's program developed and coordinated by the International Urban Resilience Research Network and hosted by UIC Barcelona. Its title reflects the need to go beyond the "building resilient cities" paradigm, taking resilience as a process expressed through a set of capacities and emotional responses to a range of impacts; one that cannot be just "built or designed", but must be managed.
The aim of this master's degree is to provide students with multiple perspectives and the multidisciplinary skills, tools and knowledge future city resilience officers require.
The program is divided into 3 main blocks: on-site classes, a research project, and work experience. The first part of the course follows a logical sequence that starts with theoretical aspects of resilience and urbanization processes. The next four modules explore and integrate different views on resilience, related to i) the built environment and infrastructures; ii) nature and urban ecosystems; iii) economic and city services resilience, and iv) community resilience. The final and most extensive module uses a set of international case studies and workshops (on governance models, leadership, and tools for managing resilience) to explore the challenges of implementation. As the course moves forward, Barcelona will be used as a case study due to its experience in resilience, and students will have the opportunity to take part in a workshop with the Barcelona Urban Resilience Lab.
Through these workshops, students will be linked to organizations, institutes, and city resilience offices worldwide, giving them the opportunity to apply their learning and skills through job placement opportunities, supporting their career and city resilience strategies for a more sustainable urban future.
