In a fast urbanising world, cities and metropolitan regions increasingly face challenges of sustainability and quality of life, that put at risk issues of mobility and logistics, water and waste management, energy, resource and food security, health and wellbeing, all in a social, spatial and policy context. The MSc programme Metropolitan Analysis, Design and Engineering (MADE) integrates analysis, design and engineering; the physical, digital, social and policy environments and the city and its citizens. These challenges are motivating science and society to approach metropoles differently. Advanced metropolitan solutions are being made possible by today's revolution of new technologies, theories and methods. But no actor or stakeholder can make metropoles move in one certain direction. Metropolitan solutions require cooperation between knowledge institutes, companies and governments, between cities, citizens and civil society. The MSc programme is student-centred, has an entrepreneurial focus and operates in the territorial context of Amsterdam as a living laboratory, exemplary for other metropolitan regions in the world. \nThe master programme is offered in the frame of the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions (AMS), setup by core academic partners Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), Wageningen University and Research Centre (Wageningen UR) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and their industry and research partners.
