Faculty Architecture Department Real Estate and Housing Date 2011-03-31 Abstract Fundamental changes in economy, demography, climate and technology create tremendous challenges for city developers. City developers need to anticipate diverse transitions and increasing uncertainty associated with urban development processes but also need to balance societal forces. In order to equip urban managers with the most advanced but also practical knowledge to fulfill their tasks universities in The Netherlands had to design new educational programs. In this article, we will introduce an education system in the Netherlands that trains current and future city developers and urban managers. We use Delft University of Technology as an example to illustrate the design concepts behind Dutch education programs. Two different but interrelated education programs: bachelor-master education and post-experience master education are introduced. Finally, we summarise the characteristics of the system and the implications for the Chinese education of city developers.
