Foundations in Urban Innovation and Policy (STEP0032)

Cities are now recognised as critical pathways to change. They account for nearly seventy per cent of the world's carbon emissions and are home to more than half of the world's population. Increasingly, cities are pooling strategies to solve urban challenges and tackle pressing issues such as growth, congestion and infrastructure deficits. Modern cities are now shifting from a basic responsibility for infrastructure delivery, to more holistic strategies around health, wellbeing, cultural identity, economic vibrancy and climate resilience. City leaders must continually re-interpret the priorities and strategies they adopt in a world where the goal posts are continually evolving and in tension. Ground-breaking and globally influential city leaders today need to be innovative, networked, informed and collaborative in order to catalyse action in urban development.

On top of this, we recognise that City leadership is not just for mayors and advisors in City Hall, but involves a wide range of stakeholders who shape the policies for future sustainable urban development, including non-governmental organisations and community groups, business leaders and transformative tech companies as well as academics and national policy makers. 
This module helps students develops the skills and expertise required to become a city leader in the public, private or third sectors as well as seeding a critical perspective on the role, power and interrelationship between these actors.

This program is linked to the Urban Innovation and Policy Lab in STEaPP and draws on the expertise of this dynamic and diverse group of world-leading researchers.
