The objective of the “Liveable cities” online training course is to build the capacity of participants in planning cities and their infrastructure, such as transport, housing, energy systems, water systems, parks, etc., in a way to promote social, economic and environmental benefits. In other words, participants learn how to prioritize win-win actions. Such an approach, which includes long-term, integrated/holistic and participative planning practices, will lead to more liveable cities. The first module under the Liveable Cities course is called Liveable Cities- An Introduction and contains the following four chapters: 1) Addressing urban challenges; 2) Strategies, planning processes and tools; 3) Policy options; 4) Assessing the social, environmental and economic consequences of actions.
