Master’s degree, Urban Economic Development: Innovation & Entrepreneurship
2019 – 2021

Due to my interest in studying and working in the joint chapter of Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Architecture and city I chose to study in this field.
Urban entrepreneurship can be also an arrangement and a set of programs that encourages, facilitates, and enables the development of for-profit businesses that explicitly and intentionally address the essentials of urban communities. We have also investigated urban entrepreneurship with a focus on its benefits for various stakeholders; in this sense, it provides more/better products and services, more employment opportunities, entrepreneurial culture, market intelligence, increased quantity and diversity of economic activity, more committed and entrepreneurial citizens and better overall quality of city life.
