Official Course Description:
The course will provide the students a knowledge on urban planning, urban design and architectural and typological aspects of cities. It will enable the students to understand and to analyse the importance and the demands of different usages in specific locations or urban neighbourhoods. They know about the main challenges of sustainable developments and construction and they are able to assess planning based on different instruments and procedures. They have extensive knowledge about the new stakeholder orientated planning culture and can create implementation strategies with participatory dimensions.The students will also be able to analyse and assess the city, the neighbourhood and buildings from architectural, functional and technical perspectives. Basic urban design skill will help them to improve the city’s images at different scales.
