In this course the collected knowledge in urban and regional is applied in a practical setting. The project encompasses the whole planning process for a specific urban area for which contemporary planning issues are addressed and analysed using the range of knowledge, tools and skills acquired during the previous stages of the students' studies. In the project, proposals for action both in terms of the physical environment and the planning process will be developed. A large emphasis is put on the ability to communicate intermediate and final results. Students will have the possibility to pursue a particular line of interest of their choice within the larger topic of the project, thus giving room for specialization.
The overall aim of the course is to develop the students’ abilities to handle complex planning situations where diverse and sometimes conflicting interests are to be treated: social integration, economic growth, ecological concern, cultural values etc. The intention is to foster a critical and creative approach for coming practical and theoretical work in the field of urban planning.
After fulfilling the course requirements, students should be able to:
The project work is conducted in small groups, and is carried out in cooperation with relevant public and private bodies. The focus of the course will be on making synthesis and methods for practical urban planning projects. Furthermore, the groups are to analyse how their project proposals relate to different social groups, key stakeholders, environmental impact and politics. The project is conducted by the students fairly independently where lectures and seminars will serve as inspiration and guidance.
Besides the group work, the course consists of two individual assignments in connection to the project. In the first individual assignment students have to reflect on the consequences of the proposed development from a local and regional perspective. In the individual seminar assignment the proposed development is related to corresponding developments within and outside Sweden.
