Regeneration, Housing and Planning
|
Want to learn more about Cities, Regeneration and Housing ? Regeneration and Housing are dynamic and rapidly changing policy areas - high on the government's agenda - and at LMU, with major regeneration projects and housing need on our doorstep, we offer a range of exciting courses. Postgraduate CoursesMA City RegenerationIn London there are a large number of major regeneration projects taking place - Thames Gateway and the Olympics at Stratford and the wider Lower Lea Valley in the east to Kings Cross and Paddington Basin in the west of the capital - as well as a host of other regeneration initiatives across every London borough. And yet, while regeneration and sustainable communities are at the heart of Government policy for our cities - there is increasing concern that the skills are not available to deliver them. LMU - at the heart of many of these regeneration projects - can help you develop the range of skills necessary to work in regeneration. Our MA City Regeneration offers a combination of theory, policy and practical skills with 4 core modules in city theory, regeneration and economic development policy, community development and research methods - and options in sustainable communities, housing, health, project management, GIS and cultural and creative industry-led regeneration.
