Thanks to this Postgraduate certificate you will know everything about UGI” 

The commitment to UGI is an opportunity, as a structural tool, to improve the liveability of the city and urban conurbations. At the same time, it makes it possible to reduce their environmental footprint. Logically, this also has implications in the area of health, since this infrastructure is positioned as a mechanism for transforming cities into healthier spaces. In this sense, urban green areas would develop a therapeutic function dedicated to the recovery of physical and mental health and the promotion of healthy living habits, so engineers prepared to improve their habitability are vital. 

This program will provide students with an integral perspective of UGI and will investigate the different agents involved in its management. They will also learn the ways to get the greatest possible positive impact and analyze the value of the Urban Forest, breaking the barrier of multiple ownership.  

In this sense, the Postgraduate certificate will address new techniques and technological developments that facilitate the implementation and development of this green infrastructure, such as its management or nature-based solutions that allow for transforming vulnerable areas of cities into neuralgic nodes. These enhance the value of the city, increasing its resilience to the challenges of the future. 

In addition, students will specialize in a highly demanded area in a self-taught way in which they will set the time of their own learning, always accompanied by an outstanding teaching team. Likewise, students will have at their disposal from the very beginning an extensive digital library of resources 24 hours a day. 

Lead the change in big cities towards healthier and more sustainable spaces”
