About the Course

Join us for an immersive 2-week field school in Singapore, exploring urban sustainability in one of the world's leading cities. This course will delve into the challenges and innovative solutions Singapore has developed in response to rapid population growth, urbanization, resource constraints, and climate change. Key themes include food and water security, energy, transport, waste management, and green and built environments.

Key Features

• Immersive Experience: Spend two weeks in Singapore, engaging with local experts and visiting key locations such as NParks-managed greenspaces, housing developments, galleries, museums, fish farms, food production sites, and pre-urbanized island environments.
• Expert Guidance: Learn from course convenors Sara Beavis and Sarah Clement, and local expert Frederick Chew.
• Hands-On Learning: Ride bumboats, explore urban wildlife, and experience the three-dimensionality of Singapore's development.

What Our Experts Say

• "I am looking forward to seeing parts of Singapore that I would never be able to see as a tourist. It’s a ‘behind the scenes’ look at a city that has a reputation for being one of the greenest in the world!" – Sarah Clement
