While cities can provide residents with services and employment opportunities, rapid unplanned urban growth means these advantages are not available to everyone. • This teaching resource explains the work the Centre for Sustainable, Healthy and Learning Cities and Neighbourhoods. Led by Professor Ya Ping Wang at the University of Glasgow, UK, this collaboration brings together architects such as Dr Josephine Malonza at the University of Rwanda and urban planners such as Dr Shilpi Roy at Khulna University, Bangladesh, to explore how to improve urban environments. For example, as cities grow, what happens to individual neighbourhoods within them? • This resource also introduces urban studies and the careers available in this field. There are interviews with Josephine and Shilpi. If you or your students have a question for them, you can submit it online – go to the article using the Futurum link below and scroll to the bottom of the page.
