Sustainable Cities and Infrastructures for Emergencies (ES99H-15)
Summary
In many developing countries, basic infrastructures; housing, power, water, sanitation, information and communication technologies, and roads, are insufficient, or non-existent. Inadequate access to infrastructures is a key barrier to economic growth. It inhibits access to health care, education and markets, it is tested even more at times of emergency.
The aims of this module are for the student to explore the planning and conceptual design of sustainable cities and infrastructure improvements for low-income urban communities and familiarise themselves with the range of infrastructure needs for affected communities before, during and following emergencies such as technologies for security, shelter, water supply and engineering management of liquid and solid wastes.
