Health in Urban Development MSc Taster Lecture: Urban Health and Why It Matters

In this virtual event, programme leads will deliver a short taster lecture on Urban Health and Why It Matters, introducing DPU’s unique approach to understanding and transforming the relationships between health, equity and urban environments. This will be followed by a live Q&A with a current student and an alumnus, who will share insights into studying HUD, fieldwork experiences, and career pathways.

This session is ideal for anyone interested in how urban development, planning and public health intersect, and for those considering applying to the programme.
