Urban greening is the process of increasing the vegetation in our towns and cities. This is often achieved through green infrastructure, which is recognised as an essential component of liveable and sustainable places. This course will provide an in-depth knowledge of the state of the art in green infrastructure planning, design and delivery using examples and evidence from the UK and internationally.
Participants are expected to have a first degree at 2.2 level or above (or equivalent), or alternatively have industrial experience. We strongly recommend that you speak to the course tutor prior to the course if you are unsure about your suitability to complete the course or assessment.
If you are a non-UK student you will need to show your valid passport on entry to the UK. Please check your eligibility to visit and study in the UK here. If you are a non-Irish EU national currently resident in Ireland please contact us for further advice.
If English is not your country's first language, you will be required to provide evidence to show you meet the UK Border Agency and the University's minimum English Language requirements.
The module is delivered by way of five study days of face-to-face teaching. These sessions will includes a range of formats including lectures, tutorials, exercises and workshops. Materials, including lecture recordings, will be available in virtual learning environments (VLEs).
The module assessment consists of a written report split into two tasks: an evidence-based critique of the green infrastructure in a neighbourhood of your choosing and a proposal outlining enhancements to the green infrastructure.
UWE Bristol is superbly equipped with libraries and computer labs, and an excellent campus environment.
