Researchers and UG/PG/PHD students involved in Urban Planning.
The complexity of urban projects often involves diverse stakeholders, stringent regulatory requirements, and the integration of multiple functions, necessitating strategic coordination and comprehensive oversight. Mastering project management equips professionals with essential tools to navigate these challenges, enabling systematic planning, execution, monitoring, and closure of projects while effectively mitigating risks and adapting to dynamic changes.
The Executive Development Program on Project Management Techniques in Urban Planning is designed to empower urban planners, engineers, and policymakers with advanced strategies for managing urban development projects. The program emphasises practical, hands-on learning through continuous engagement with one or two live urban infrastructure projects in coastal cities, with a focus on climate resilience. Participants will work on these projects using MS Project software in SPAV’s state-of-the-art laboratories, gaining actionable insights into resource optimisation, risk management, and the delivery of impactful urban solutions that respond to the pressing demands of contemporary cities.
This program aspires to nurture leadership and foster innovation, equipping professionals to adeptly navigate the complexities of urban transformation while championing sustainable and resilient development practices.
