Excerpt from UH News …
Faculty in the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s Department of Urban and Regional Planning (DURP), conducted a summer course in Indonesia designed to enable students to appreciate challenges of urbanization, climate change and resilience in the Global South. This is the third year UH Mānoa has offered a two-week immersive program in partnership with the urban and regional planning department at Diponegoro University (UNDIP) in Semarang.
“The courses offered faculty and students from both universities an opportunity to share their knowledge and creativity in responding to urban environmental problems,” said Priyam Das, an associate professor in DURP who co-designed the co-led joint course in Indonesia. “UH Mānoa students learned about resilience and informality—of settlements, services and solutions—by engaging with local communities in Semarang.”
