The world is in a state of flux and the city is very much part of this change. To accommodate the increasing number of households, more dwellings have to be realized in the coming decades. Developing new residential areas and redeveloping our cities to meet current and future requirements regarding quality of life, green energy and a circular economy pose new kinds of challenges.  

Challenges for a quality urban life
We face various challenges in different facets to maintain the quality of life in the city. Consider the ambition to make the urban economy circular: how do we achieve this? Or climate change: how do we design a climate-resilient city? The growing need for healthy working environments, energy-neutral cities and sustainable transport also demands our attention. And from a social perspective, think of the desire to combat the loneliness the elderly experience.

All these urban challenges and real estate issues require new ways of thinking, an inquisitive attitude and an eye for the human aspect. Cities consist of a physical environment: buildings, neighborhoods and transport networks, and of people. These are inextricably linked and interact with each other constantly.

This master’s track in Urban Systems & Real Estate (USRE) teaches you how to develop a human-oriented built environment that allocates the space for these ideals and ambitions and where we enhance the quality of urban life. Both the government and the business community are increasingly addressing this issue from various angles, including real estate management, project and process management, and urban planning and transport.

What’s the program all about?
The master’s track in Urban Systems & Real Estate (USRE) is a versatile program. You learn how to analyze and model the urban environment. In this program we consider cities as systems in which real estate – housing, offices, shops and healthcare institutions – and transport, energy and communication networks are closely linked.

As a student, you learn the techniques to understand and even predict the behavior of people operating in these systems. Think of everything that people do in cities. Where do they live, shop, work and relax? How do they move around? You focus on three important themes:
  • the needs and the behavior of people;
  • healthy living environments;
  • sustainability.  
You learn how to develop and apply organizational strategies, how decision-making processes take place and who are the important stakeholders to involve. You also learn how to apply smart technology to develop healthy buildings and neighborhoods where people enjoy living and working.
