This means that theurban population will double in the coming decades, whereasthe urban built-up area willtriple.In developing countries, particularly, this scenariois associated with apoor management of the urban expansion and insufficientdelivery of infrastructure and public services, which lead tosevere poverty, diseases,high child mortality, low literacy rates, high social inequality and violence. Developing countriesare alsomore likely to suffer from climate change, natural disasters, environmental problems, destruction of cultural heritage,political crisis and war, not mention a lack ofeconomic competitiveness tofinance urban expansion and counter associated problems.Not only dotheyface the largest growth challenges,but also the largest capacity and resource gap.MUprovides adequate professional and academic solutions that are required to address the steadily increasingneeds in the field of urban development and international cooperation.The two-year course is innovative in its transdisciplinary set-up and arrangesknowledge around emerging global phenomena, rather than only around purely academic frameworks.
