This course provides an in-depth examination of urban and settlement geography with a focus on sustainability and resilience in small island developing states (SIDS). It explores demographic change, urbanization patterns, and environmental resilience, while introducing students to tools for planning and managing urban growth under the pressures of climate and environmental change. Topics include sustainable transportation planning, energy-efficient design, smart cities, green infrastructure, social equity, and inclusive planning. The course also considers policy and governance frameworks that support sustainable urban development and resilience strategies. Emphasis is placed on participatory and community-based approaches, and the integration of environmental, social, and economic dimensions into urban planning. Students will evaluate existing urban forms, propose resilience-building strategies, and examine new technologies for urban analysis.
