Programme content and structure

The study programme offers: an overall knowledge of climate issues in a global context, practical knowledge about regional and local climate in landscape and built-up areas; and knowledge of urban planning and building design in cold and warm climates. The programme provides knowledge about how urban planning and building design can decrease strains on global climate. In addition the courses provide knowledge about the design of indoor and outdoor living areas that consider climate conditions for all seasons. Teaching builds on the skills and experiences gain from research undertaken by LTU's Department of Civil, Environmental and Natural Resources Engineering. As this knowledge is applicable in urban planning for both cold and warm climate the entire world can be your working place. All teaching is in English.Specialisations:•Climate Sensitive Urban Planning and Design: the planning and design of urban projects that are adjusted to seasonal climate and climate change. Here students apply climate knowledge to spatial planning and urban design projects.•Climate Sensitive Building: the planning and managing building projects that are adjusted to seasonal climate and climate changes. Here students apply climate knowledge to the design of building projects.
