“We are facing the biggest refugee and displacement crisis of our time. Above all, this is not just a crisis of numbers; it is also a crisis of solidarity.” – Ban Ki Moon, United National Secretary General.
Students will learn about prototypes for construction and maintenance of critical and social infrastructure in temporary settlements. Given that the topic is vast, the course is a survey of the types of temporary settlements that are created largely as a response to climate change, geohazards, violence and pandemics.
