I took the Global Certificate in Urban Planning (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business, and it was a great experience! I was a bit skeptical about the online format at first, but the instructors were really engaging, and the discussions with my peers were super valuable. I gained a lot of practical knowledge on urban planning principles, and the course materials were really relevant to my work in Brazil. One thing that really stood out to me was the emphasis on community engagement and participation in the planning process - it's something that I hadn't considered before, but now I see how crucial it is. My only suggestion would be to include more examples from Latin America, but overall, I'm really happy with what I learned, and I'd definitely recommend this course to others.

I recently completed the Global Certificate in Urban Planning (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was a thoroughly enjoyable and enriching experience. As a detail-oriented person, I appreciated the comprehensive and well-structured course materials, which covered a wide range of topics from urban design to policy analysis. The instructors were knowledgeable and responsive, and the online discussions were a great way to engage with my peers and learn from their experiences. One area that I found particularly useful was the section on urban planning in the context of African cities - it was fascinating to learn about the unique challenges and opportunities that exist on our continent. My only suggestion would be to include more detailed case studies from Africa, but overall, I'm very satisfied with what I learned, and I would definitely recommend this course to others in the field.
