Studies and training in the sectors that you mentioned (architecture, urbanism, building sciences) might provide the foundation for careers in urban planning, facilities management, LEED sciences and policies of buildings, architecture and design and more.
Remain flexible after university yet, try to secure valuable internships or apprenticeships in cities that are undergoing development and growth.
Review the various resources of American Institute of Architects, Urban Land Institute, U.S. Green Building Council, all of which inspire thought leadership in Europe as well:
http://www.aiaeurope.org/aia-resources
https://europe.uli.org/
https://www.gbci.org/europe
https://greenbuild.usgbc.org/europe (conference for Europe with digital link of resources and the names of experts in the field)
https://www.usgbc.org/event/usgbcs-international-education-series-europe-and-latin-america (free education webinars for this summer)
Aim for solid internships at companies like Gensler, gmp Architects, AECOM, CH2M Hill, etc.
Read publications in your selected industry (find content such as presentations, webinars, workshops online).
Keep learning and stay well.

Hi Daliya,
The first questions for you to ask yourself is: does this topic interest me, does this inspire me? Is this what I want to spend most of my time doing? Is this something that I would like to deep dive learn, explore and experience?
If the answers are yes - then go for it!
Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences are part of society and always will be. But as society changes, so does Architecture, Urbanism and Building change. If you could learn the way urbanism is changing due to social, economical, geographical and historical changes, you could learn to foresee trends and bring forth new and creative ways of architecture and building.
Learn to ask the questions that you can supply the answers for, think out of the box, be special and you will be happy.
Good luck :)
