A central issue for both South Africa and the broader African continent is the delivery of urban services and infrastructure to rapidly growing urban populations, such that they are enabled to live and work in sustainable and integrated environments.
This masters programme, leading to an MPHiL in Urban Infrastructure: Design and Management, is aimed at building capacity amongst those in government and the private sector who are committed to the future of African cities and to the servicing of particularly poorer inhabitants. The programme is presented by the Department of Civil Engineering.
