Urban planning 1

  • Number of credits 6 credits

About the course

The course deals with planning for architects on a basic level. The course provides knowledge about the official principles of planning through elements that highlight both visionary and interdisciplinary aspects. The course includes a discussion of both the private and public spheres in the city. The emphasis lies on the awareness that the planning of communities and the built environment is defined by relationships between different scales, densities and systems of communities, as well as architecture. Students are introduced to the parameters that affect a specific context's character and development over time. The student's understanding of the city's political and spatial complexity is developed in the project work. New context specific strategies with a focus on sustainability are developed in the project work.
