Postgraduate Certificate in Urbanism and Spatial Planning

The process of urbanization as a bid to improve the quality of collective life is as old as civilization itself. Let us go back to 2500 B.C. in Mesopotamia: the first city-states are established in a centralized way, centuries later Greece would have its own territorial models: Athens and Sparta, even pre-Columbian America gave examples in this regard with regions such as Chichén-Itzá or Tikal. The world has evolved, but the optimization of population centers continues to be a fundamental sociological, economic and political aspect. At TECH Global University we see the potential of this branch of studies and therefore, we offer you the Postgraduate Certificate in Urbanism and Spatial Planning: an approach to social development from different points of view: demographic, architectural, infrastructural, geographical, economic and administrative.
