the info was good, but the professor sounded a bit monotone which made it hard to focus at some points, but overall amazing course.
Normally, I always learn something or the other in any course I undertake however this specialization is unique in being banal and cliche. They give very positive and obvious ideas (like plant trees, install solar, encourage public transport, maintain historic buildings, reduce sprawling, etc.). Moreover, they do not delve into policy and techno-commercial aspects that impede such sustainable developments in the first place from happening. They do not explain why some stakeholders have vested interest in developing cities revolving around used based building code and not form based urban development. They do not explain how it can be overcome except for few examples that may not be universally scalable. Lastly, the course is an information dump of repetitive ideas from a professor lacking any sense of personality or humor.
