摘要
The article presents the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) “Healthy Urban Systems”, published in 2023, which was designed for international students from the fields of urban and transport planning and health. Using multidimensional and multiscale approaches, the MOOC teaches students how to work with system models and visualizations with regard to new perspectives for urban policy. Through her involvement in the ISC Urban Health Commission, the International Society of Urban Health and the WHO, World Health Organization, Céline Rozenblat initiated and coordinated over 30 recognized international scientists to develop this MOOC. Module four of the total of six modules uses short video sequences and software tools to illustrate the practical application of Frederic Vester’s holistic systems approach for students and practitioners in the context of “Healthy Urban Systems”.
