The courses intend to give students an understanding of the requirements for s sustainable community development, and how to introduce strategies for sustainable development in urban management.
The courses also aim to introduce the thinking and working developed by the United Nations Habitat conferences, as well as the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro 1992, and the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg 2002.
The courses intend to promote good examples on how new models of sustainable management are developed and the course material has a multitude of examples on such cases from the Baltic Sea region.
