Cities, because of high levels of energy consumption and mobility, are the main contributors to climate change. At the same time, because of their population density, they are most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. How can city planners reduce their CO2 emissions, and how can cities adapt to the consequences of climate change?
To answer these questions, possibilities for mainstreaming climate change into urban planning will be discussed as well as examples of carbon free cities and transition towns. Because of the rapidly urbanizing delta areas, special attention will be paid to issues of flood risk management and multi-layered water safety. Which infrastructure is needed to protect delta areas, what is the potential of ecosystem engineering, and what are possibilities for flood proofing urban areas?
You will study case studies from the Netherlands (Delta programme, Nijmegen) as well as international cases (New Orleans, Jakarta, Hamburg). We'll focus on strategies to enhance cities' capacity to adapt to changing climate conditions and to respond to shocks.

studievereniging
Mundus
Mundus is de studievereniging voor studenten Geografie, Planologie en Milieu in Nijmegen. Je kunt vanwege het economische voordeel van de boekenkorting lid worden van Mundus, maar onze vereniging heeft nog veel meer te bieden.Onze enthousiaste actieve leden dragen bij aan de organisatie van diverse leuke activiteiten voor alle Mundusleden en andere geïnteresseerden. Je staat vrij om zelf dingen te organiseren of eraan mee te doen.
Regelmatig organiseren wij lezingen op onverwachte locaties in Nederland, excursies naar leuke steden of gewoon een dagje 'even helemaal weg'. Ook is er natuurlijk de jaarlijkse buitenlandse Mundusreis, die altijd een goede mix is van vakinhoudelijkheid, vakantiegevoel en veel lol.
Maar Mundus doet nog meer. Tijdens onze contactdag kom je, als voorbereiding op het toekomstige werkveld, in contact met sociaal geografen, planologen en millieukundigen uit de beroepspraktijk. Daarnaast is er de nu al legendarische Borrelende Kennis Quiz, waarbij studenten en docenten van de sectie het opnemen tegen andere teams van GPM. Naast studiegerelateerde activiteiten brengt Mundus natuurlijk ook ontspanning door feesten, borrels of een barbecue, waardoor je je medestudenten op een andere manier leert kennen. Elk jaar organiseert Mundus het Nationaal Geografisch en Planologisch Symposium, in samenwerking met andere studieverenigingen uit Amsterdam, Utrecht, Groningen en Wageningen. Wil je meer weten over Mundus? Wil je lid worden of zelf iets organiseren? Dan ben je van harte welkom in de pauze, elke middag tussen 12.30 uur en 13.30 uur, op onze kamer in de Thomas van Aquinostraat 5.0.04.
