Description
Understand the principles of sustainable stormwater management and depaving strategies, as well as their role in preventing erosion in urban environments.
Identify the ecological functions of soils in cities and assess concrete solutions such as the reuse of excavated soil, the regeneration of urban soils, and urban agriculture practices, including urban gardening, farming and forestry.
Analyse the effects of climate change on urban soils, in particular the urban heat island phenomenon, and discover suitable mitigation strategies.
