Course Overview

This course caters to those seeking to accept the challenges of managing rapid urban growth while addressing the fundamental requirements of sustainability and of ethical and professional responsibilities. The course promotes an integrated understanding of processes of spatial change in the built and natural environments and of the ways in which and reasons why societies manage and regulate those changes. The course aims to promote critical thinking about €˜space and €˜place as the basis for action or intervention in order to secure an agreed range of social, economic, and environmental objectives. Although the program design doesnt explicitly assume any specific prior learning, it would be particularly suited to those who have previously studied surveying, architecture, landscape architecture, civil engineering, or urban studies. Or for graduates from cognate social or environmental science disciplines, such as geography, economics, or environmental studies.
