Urban Environmental Management Master programme at Wageningen University
The world we live in is an increasingly urban one as cities currently account for half the world’s population. By 2030, it’s expected that three out of every five people will live in an urban environment. Sustainable management of the urban environment has become one of the major challenges of the 21st century as you will learn during the two-year Master Urban Environmental Management programme at Wageningen University. This development calls for control of the environmental impacts of urbanisation like growing traffic, increasing waste emissions, deteriorating air and water quality, and growth in energy and resource consumption. Inadequate water supply, sanitation, waste collection and waste management systems are the cause of serious urban pollution and health hazards in many Asian, African and Latin American cities. Student like you are needed to guide the future along the path of sustainable urbanisation.
