I enrolled in the Urban Planning and Development course at Stanmore School of Business with a clear goal in mind: to gain a deeper understanding of the complex issues surrounding urbanization and development in the Global South. The course exceeded my expectations, providing a comprehensive and nuanced exploration of the subject matter. The instructors were knowledgeable and passionate about the topic, and the course materials were well-researched and relevant. I appreciated the attention paid to the social and economic contexts of urban development, as well as the emphasis on community-led planning and participatory approaches. The course was well-structured, with clear learning objectives and outcomes, and the online platform was user-friendly and easy to navigate. One area for improvement could be the inclusion of more case studies from the African context, but overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to anyone interested in urban planning and development in the Global South.
