“If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail” - how true that is for cities. In the Master of Cities, hear from local and international experts who bring diverse perspectives to city development, see that development firsthand, and understand how different cities have approached their challenges in unique ways. With this, you will be equipped with much more than a hammer – you will be equipped with the thinking tools necessary to remain nimble and relevant in any urban context.
