A healthy urban environment
A healthy urban environment
HURBE is a National Joint Project that aims to develop curricula and programs in higher education institutions in the field of healthy urban environment at architecture and construction faculties in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) during 3 years (2018-2021). . The project includes 6 universities - Džemal Bijedić University in Mostar; University of Sarajevo, University of Zenica; University of Rome Sapienza, Italy (coordinator); University of Zagreb, Faculty of Architecture, Croatia; University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy, Bulgaria - and 5 associated partners from Italy, Bulgaria, Croatia and BiH, and is aimed at modernizing the curriculum by developing new and innovative subjects and installing new equipment. The motivation for the project is the key importance of the topic at the international, European and national level.
The target groups are employees in the field of higher education who work on the preparation of future architects and engineers. The project will be appointed by the Consortium, which sets up a complete curriculum - real academic subjects and MOOC (Massive Online Open Course) modules - for students, teachers and lecturers, and installs laboratories that ensure real sustainability after the end of the project. This improves teaching skills and integrates the theme of a healthy urban environment, through a project that puts the transfer of ECTS credits - program amendments - into practice and turns the European Higher Education Area into a reality on the ground.
Healthy Urban Environment
HURBE is a National Joint Project that aims, over 3 years (2018-2021), to develop the curricula in Higher Education Institutions in the field of Healthy Urban Environment in the Faculties of Architecture and Construction in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). The project involves 6 Universities – Dzemal Bijedic University of Mostar; University of Sarajevo, University of Zenica; Sapienza University of Rome, Italy (coordinator); University of Zagreb, Faculty of Architecture, Croatia; University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy, Bulgaria – and 5 Associate partners from Italy, Bulgaria, Croatia and BiH and it works on the modernization of curriculum by developing new and innovative courses and installing new facilities. The motivation behind the project is the criticality of the topic on an international, European and national scale.
The target groups are HEI staff members who work on the preparation of future architects and engineers. The project builds a Consortium, which sets up a complete teaching program - creates academic courses and MOOC modules - for students, teachers and trainers, and installs laboratories that ensure a real sustainability after the project lifetime. This improves the teaching skills and integrates the healthy urban environment topic, through a project that puts the credit transfer – reform degree programs – into practice and turns the European Higher Education Area into reality on the ground.
