Greening the Economy

Great introduction to the concept / practical aspects of sustainable cities!

Greening the Economy: Sustainable Cities has been truly an eye-opening educational experience for me as a graduate architect and citizen of Mother Earth.

Ιt was a very interesting course.You will learn many things in an accesible way ,especially through videos.It is not necessary to have much knowledge on this subject ,to create a general point of view for sustainable cities and to become more sensitive on this matter.

This class was a GREAT introduction to the world of sustainable cities and taught me a lot about how to work to create climate sustainable cities.

Many cities Government in Indonesia is starting develop their cities with adopting smart sustainable cities and ICT.

with some famous NGO participated in,like WWF,, the class content gets more colorful.the overall view of sustainable cities really impressed me...I would like to share the course to my friends Great course!

For those who wish to know the base of sustainable cities and how to make them reality in the future, this is the best course to lookout for.

In 5 weeks you have time to cover in details all the aspects of sustainable cities: energy, transport, waste, building, sharing economy.

This is an ok introductory course, a compilation of concepts, related to sustainable cities.

- Sebastian learned many things about sustainable cities Overall good course (the first MOOC I ever took, so inexperienced in grading these courses), but some areas of improvement remain.I would however suggest less redundancy.

Very interesting and thank you for clearly organizing and the topics in which sustainable cities is being studied.

Good coarse The course was interisting and ideal if it's your first approach with the topic of sustainable cities.

The videos seemed loosely tied around a common subject, but it might as well have been a YouTube playlist on overall concepts of cities needing to be aware of climate change.

Especially after the results of the US Election, which will put action on climate change in jeopardy, I think it's important to be as educated as possible about sustainability challenges and how we can meet them without the help of our President.

I wish it had been a bit more current since we know how quickly things change with climate change.

I also felt like some of this information was out of date, given how much more we know about climate change and adaptation/mitigation since many of the course materials were written.

Also, the academic is wonderful and bring up the problems in order to inspire us to get the solutions I took this course because I wanted to elevate the thinking and opinions I had on climate change and what we can do about it.

I see how they are tied together now and I see how collaboration is the only way we will mitigate climate change and its effects on humanity.

In many places people rarely think of the climate change, CO2 footprint and how it impacts the nature.

The course showed just how scientists, universities and ordinary caring people try to address the climate change in cities, where the most effect on nature takes place.

They give you a professional overall vision of how we (academia, politicians, enterpreneurs and citizens) should act in order to both adapt and mitigate climate change.

Given this, it would have been better to see more what cities in Asia and Africa are doing in terms of tackling climate change and moving towards a sustainable society.

Helped me get an perspective on how important it is for us to work together globally for climate change mitigation and creation of equitable and sustainable cities.

I know we have a lot to do to make this planet carbon neutral but I think that people, especially in this bad time caused by Covid-19, will have a major interest to tackle climate change.

Thank you very much, Lund University.

Thank You all the Professor's and Lund University for publishing this course on Coursera.

Congratulations to all team members of Lund University.

Thank you, Lund University, for such an opportunity!

I'm so happy to have been taken this course from Lund University.

But we live on the same world and we have the same goal about climate change.Thank you so much for all team Coursera and Lund University!!

Thanks to Lund University Awesome course...I learn more in these course.

Thank you Coursera, Thank you Lund University.

Thanks for the course by lund university and course team Very useful course for our future sustainability.

Test assessments and as well peer assessments enjoyed joyfully.Wish Lund University and team members all the very best!

Thank you so much Lund University and Coursera to provide this course for us.

There are various actors involved from Lund university, WWF etc.

I learnt so much in this course that is not yet in place in my country Nigeria.

It contains so much information and practical examples.

Very good start to get knowledge green cities Its is very interesting all the concepts of sustainable cities that can be understood in this course, and how they defend the idea of colctivity in their documents, certainly innovative and considers real aspects of economic growth and citizens as part of the development of sustainable utopias I really liked so much this course.

Informative alongside being quiet interesting Thank you so much for this wonderful study materials being provided Great learning experience.

Thank you so much!

(Robert Stein, AICP) Such a good course with so much resources and content.

Agree that Sweden has taken so much effort to bring the city to what it is now.

So I think video helps a lot to reduce entire amount of reading into summary in speech.Overall it was a superb experience.Thank you team, Instructors, Teachers and those who have put up so much hard work in making this course.

Thank you so much, it has been a great course, I'm currently an architecture student in Mexico and this is so useful to me.

I was able to add so much more to my knowledge base about sustainable cities and the practices many of them are implementing all over the world.

The course content were precise, very relatable and made me see how several cities around the world were developing towards green sustainability.

Great examples of how sustainable urban transformation is being used in cities around the world, and how integrating sustainable development into urban development practice can take place.

It helps you realize both the big efforts being made within cities around the world to tackle climate change, and the challenges ahead to successfully achieve the goals proposed by cities, agencies, etc.

Highly recommended for urban planners and designers!

I have already tried several courses but this one is a game changer!Highly recommended!

This is a fantastic course, I would highly recommend it to Geography graduates!

Within that one week, I saw in the news that the African Development Bank is leading discussions on sustainability and that Nigeria is involved!Courses that put you ahead are highly recommended!

I highly recommend it.

I highly recommend this course.

This course offers a very complete outlook on all of the areas that encompass urban sustainability and how each of those can be approached, and for that I highly recommend it.

Highly, highly recommend to anyone interested in the sustainability field or urban development.

I think there is alot of interesting ideas, case studies and information.

A lot of interesting case studies and general information on worldwide innovations regarding sustainability.

This course explained sustainability and urban planning not just by theory but by using case studies and examples.

It is a good course which includes interesting cities' case studies.

Some topics were too short (I would want to learn more about them rather than have a short mention or a basic video introduction) and unnecessary (such as the short videos/"case studies").

Look forward to more such courses The course opened my eyes on the situation with rapidly growing consequences of our actions.

It definitely opened my eyes on new thinking.

It's a excellent course to understand the importance of urban planning in greening the economy.

It opened new doors to the sustainability urban planning, smart and sustainable cities, and green economy for me.

Quite a good Learning experience I learned a new perception and idea of Urban Planning, Policy Making and Sustainable Green Economy.

It was great learning new things and developing knowledge.

I did learn new things which prompts me to do more independent study at least.

That was my first encounter with sustainability in cities and as well as learning new things, I could understand a framework of studies about sustainability.

It is a good introductory course, but I think it should go deeper each week content.

one star for each week.

Also, I appreciate the course is provided by a Swedish university but it would definitely benefit from more examples from outside Scandinavia – at times, it felt like I was watching tourism videos of some of the most affluent cities in the world!Still, all things considered, it's a thought-provoking course that provides a good introduction to the area.

And sometimes it felt like I was watching a big commercial block to promote certain projects.
