About this Course

In this interdisciplinary course you will learn about the water-related dimensions of environmentally sustainable urbanism.

Each week, you'll watch compelling documentary-style video featuring architects, planners, artists, engineers, and academics that have created real-world innovations. You'll meet the inspiring founder of the Center for Interactive Research on Sustainability (one of the greenest buildings in North America); visit North America's largest urban wastewater-to-energy plant; visit Vancouver's revitalized waterfront; travel along one of North America's largest revitalized urban streams; and explore the creation of a 'watershed mind' with an award-winning poet and artist. And you'll learn about concepts such as the "water nexus" and water ethics.

Join our community of water-centric thinkers seeking solutions to the global water crisis!
