Urban Investigations is a core module of the MRes in Interdisciplinary Urban Design, and builds upon the wide-ranging research and professional expertise in urban design found across The Bartlett. It exposes students to the series of urban scale research projects / problems being examined at UCL (and beyond) and offers the opportunity to discuss and experiment with the latest urban research theories and methodologies, processes and practices. These provide a fundamental underpinning for the production of an urban design research proposal later in the year.

The module has two primary aims. First, introduce students to and reflect upon the role of industrial ecology and industrial symbiosis in moving towards more sustainable industrial systems, including discussion of key challenges and obstacles. Second, equip students with relevant methodological and analytical tools for the practical implementation of industrial ecology principles to the design of industrial parks, industrial systems and urban areas. By the end of the module, you should be able to understand the concepts of industrial ecology and industrial symbiosis as well as Circular Economy, have a basic knowledge of main methods and tools for the practical implementation of these approaches such as Material Flow Analysis and Life Cycle Assessment and have the ability to apply them to real world and business problems, be able to understand opportunities but also challenges to increase resource efficiency in industry, as well as have the ability to define strategies to turn waste into resources and exploit business opportunities associated with it.
