TACKLE LARGE-SCALE, COMPLEX, SOCIETAL CHALLENGES WITH THE USE OF SPATIAL DATA.
Worldwide, cities are challenged by water excess that can cause widespread floods. Fast-growing cities, of which many are in low lying deltas, are under pressure to accommodate changing societies and to protect their inhabitants, especially those in the global South. Moreover, urban drainage infrastructures increasingly have difficulties coping with the imminent higher rain intensities caused by climate change. So how can you make a city more resilient to flood problems, providing stakeholders with a secure environment to build up their livelihoods and sustain socio-economic growth?
Master's Spatial Engineering
The Master’s Spatial Engineering prepares you to address these problems by combining technical and socio-economic knowledge with a strong basis of spatial data analysis and modelling.
