Blog 6: How Can My Major/Career Make the World a Better Place

Hello everyone. Today I will talk to you about how a major in architecture, with a specialization in sustainable urbanism, can make the world a better place.

The field of urban planning is in charge of planning the development of cities in terms of the elements that will be built. It designs the layout of housing, equipment and even the streets and the route of streets. A good urban design can help to improve the quality of life of the people and the development of communities.

If urban projects are approached from a sustainable point of view, the quality of life can be improved even more, and not only that, it will also help to reduce energy consumption and pollution. Eco-neighbourhoods can also be created, where sustainability is taken to a new level and community living is enhanced on a larger scale, generating many benefits for people and the planet.

In the future I want to develop in this area, working on public sustainable development projects. I would like to work in municipalities, which is where people can be helped the most and where there are more possibilities to implement this new way of generating a healthy development of cities.
