Urban Infrastructure and Environment
Course Overview
Contributing to urban development regarding urban disaster prevention and regeneration
What should a city look like? Observation of cities reveals a complex interplay of issues such as traffic congestion, natural disasters, aging social infrastructure, and declining population. In order to take on the challenge of creating a higher level of urban development, it is necessary not only to have the skills to construct social infrastructure, but also to have a bird's eye view of nature and society, the ability to analyze complex problems, and the ability to propose solutions. The Civil Engineering Program (Urban Infrastructure and Environment Course) is designed to develop engineers who are capable of taking a holistic view of social infrastructure systems by studying a wide range of topics; people (urban, transportation, spatial information), nature (environment, disaster prevention, resilience), and objects (design, materials, maintenance management) under the theme of urban disaster prevention and resilience.
