Prerequisites
Environmental Technology, Sustainable Energy Systems, industrial EcologyIntended learning outcomes
After taking this course, the student should be able to:
- Explain what characterizes resource efficient technical systems
- Reflect and problematize the significance of technical systems in sustainable city development with main focus on environmental impact and resource efficiency.
- Explain how technical systems have developed in society over time.
- Identify and characterize the roles of different actors for sustainable city development.
- Have a general understanding of how spatial planning processes affect the possibilities to develop resource efficient technical systems.
- Translate the theoretical knowledge into practice in a case study that analyze and evaluate different alternative technical systems’ solutions from a sustainability perspective.
Course content
This course explores the contribution and role of technical systems to sustainable city development by analyzing the challenges and opportunities that are connected to technical systems in this context. A precondition for sustainable city development is to have a holistic view and integrated approach, not only regarding the technical systems but also with respect to the processes and actors involved. This course will give the students an understanding of how technical systems have and are continuously developed and what processes and actors that have been and are important for a sustainable city development. Lectures, a study project, and seminars will together create a deeper theoretical understanding for sustainable city development. The accumulated theoretical knowledge will be translated into practice in an applied case study project and in a reflective individual assignment.
Teaching and working methods
The teaching methods used in this course are lectures, literature seminars, site visit, group assignment and individual assignment.
