What current industry trends are most relevant to your course? GUEST: There are two key trends: the increasing reliance on digital tools for urban planning and the shift towards more participatory approaches in campaigns. Our course covers both these aspects, empowering learners to lead positive change in their communities.

Social media campaigns will become increasingly important for engaging with diverse urban populations and driving positive change. HOST: Thank you for sharing your insights, Sophie.
