Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Learning Objectives

In this week, we will discuss the importance of inter-disciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches to sustainable urban development. By using these approaches, Synthesis (the making of something new from multiple entities) is created. This will be demonstrated using several case studies.

The specific learning objectives are:

  • To be able to recognise the connections between the themes and the challenges of the past weeks;
  • To remember real application where multiple aspects of sustainable urban development are brought together, thus making use of knowledge from more than one discipline or area of expertise;
  • To gain perspective on the future educational opportunities offered by the AMS-Institute, Delft Technical University and Wageningen University.
