Abstract For many students, sustainability has become an obligatory add‐on for any project. Here Ulysses Sengupta and Deljana Iossifova explain how they have sought to address this in their teaching at the University of Nottingham through a ‘systemic diagramming’ approach. This provides essential tools for understanding how resource flows and environmental concerns are embedded in physical urban transformation, socioeconomic fault lines and underlying power relations.
