Prince visits SFU, inks new agreement

On November 7, 2009, Prince Charles attended a seminar on sustainable urbanism (one of his long-time interests) at SFU’s Morris J Wosk Centre for Dialogue and confirmed a partnership between SFU and the Prince’s Foundation for the Built Environment. Together, SFU Urban Studies and the foundation will develop a curriculum for advanced education in sustainable urbanism. Anthony Perl, director of the Urban Studies program, says it will be the foundation’s first partnership outside the U.K. The new curriculum will deepen the sustainability content of SFU’s existing Master of Urban Studies degree.
