Abstract

In 2015, the United Nations adopted 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) following the publication of «Limits to Growth» (1972) and the Brundtland Report (1987). The aims declared were to reduce poverty and hunger, achieve gender equality, respond to urgent climate changes, support efforts to follow for responsible production and consumption. SDGs are quite ambitious and demand on persons who seek to develop insights into sustainability and development issues to acquire suitable interdisciplinary skills. During the course we will pay particular attention to the following topics: the history of development studies, the fundamentals of development perspective, the Urban informal economy and rural development, poverty and the poor, inequality with special focus on Gini index, Lorentz curve and Keyfitz entropy, climate changes, ESG practice, disadvantaged neighborhoods in townships, urban environment and urban ecology, urban political ecology.
