[Geo4All] Preliminary report on Education for the City We Need: Exploring how to integrate the New Urban Agenda in higher education curriculums

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues,





In June 2017 ,  TU Delft organised Urban Thinkers’ Campus (UTC ) on Higher Education for the New Urban Agenda. The aim of the meetings was to explore how to integrate the UN-Habitat NEW URBAN AGENDA in higher education curricula. [1]




For those interested there is a preliminary report available both at the World Urban Campaign website http://www.worldurbancampaign.org/education-city-we-need-exploring-how-integrate-new-urban-agenda-higher-education-curriculums   and at UTC website  https://utctudelft.org/executive-summary/ 







I want to thank the organisers for inviting me to present OpenCitySmart [2] and GeoForAll ideas at TU Delft Urban Thinkers Campus “Education for the City We Need”  There has been growing attention to the event, in view of the fact that education for the New Urban Agenda is one of the main challenges (and one of the great opportunities) for the implementation of the NUA.




The final report will be launched at the World Urban Forum in Kuala Lumpur next week.




Best wishes,




Suchith
