We increasingly depend on reliable and affordable supply of energy, water, transport, telecommunication and information services to improve livability and facilitate economic development. However, today's infrastructure systems are drastically changing. They are becoming more and more web-based, interconnected and transnational, with increasingly fragmented public and private ownership, while new technologies are on their way. The capital need for investment in new infrastructures and upgrading of ageing infrastructures is tremendous.

Get introduced to the basics of designing industrial processes for biobased products, from renewable feedstock to biomaterials, chemicals, nutrition products and biofuels.

The course aims is to understand the relation between urban design and planning and the aspects of: – sun, energy and plants – wind, sound and noise – water, traffic and other networks – earth, soil and site preparation – life, ecology and nature preservation – living, human density, economy and environment.
