This is a part of the Minor, Smart Solutions for Sustainable Cities. See here for the complete description of this module.
Students participating in this module are introduced to the opportunities and challenges in society’s transition towards sustainable cities. While exploring this theme, this module focuses on smart solutions for the infrastructures construction activities that are aimed to realize sustainable cities, but before doing so often first disturb processes and activities in public space.
Students are introduced to state-of-the-art technologies (ICT, sensors, intelligence etc.) that could help minimizing the disruption of construction processes. As such technologies are soon to be deployed in the built environment and civil engineering, they broaden the capabilities and (inter)operability of equipment and coordination processes.
During the module part ‘introduction’ students learn about the phenomenon of sustainable cities from a planning and construction management viewpoint, and get insights in the basic engineering and technology perspectives related to it.
