Planetary Urbanisation

Global Challenges in a Changing World

Trish Mountjoy, Niamh Moore-Cherry, Joe Brady, Niall Watts, Mathew Pryor, Aogán Mulcahy, and Francesco Ventura

What challenges does planetary urbanisation present in different geographical settings and how can cities be made more liveable for future generations?

The key questions we address are:

  • What is urbanisation?
  • What is planetary urbanisation?
  • What kinds of challenges face cities globally today?
  • What might future cities look like?

    • In addressing this students will be asked to consider how is planetary urbanisation different? How are we responding to global urban challenges? Will future cities be more liveable?
