| Abstract | The course deals with theoretical, methodological and practical foundations around the understanding and production of urban space. It discusses theoretical planning frameworks, and tasks of spatial planning at various scales, addresses current and future challenges of spatial development and reviews approaches for a sustainable development in Switzerland and beyond. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | The overall aim of the course is to raise students’ awareness and curiosity about the aspects that guide and shape our environment. Through lectures, readings, discussions, and exercises, the course seeks to achieve this goal by accumulating crucial notions from both theoretical and practice-based examples, and applying such knowledge into tasks of spatial planning. At the end of this course, students should feel empowered to critically engage with the teaching topic from a variety of approaches. By taking up the lecture, the students should be able to to analyse, interpret and reflect complex cross-scale tasks of spatial development and transformation, and to use their theoretical, methodical and professional knowledge to tackle them. You as students will... ... assess present and future core challenges of spatial planning and development. ... discuss the role of spatial planning and development in shaping our living environment. ... differentiate the levels, scales and tasks of spatial planning instruments and processes. … reflect on theoretical concepts and pratical examples of decision-making of spatial tasks. ... identify and apply spatially relevant principles and systems for action-oriented planning and decision-making. ... acquire theoretical, methodological, practical know-how to examine, clarify, and solve tasks on spatial development | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | Spatial development as a discipline deals with the development, (trans)formation, and arrangement of our urban environment. We simultaneously perceive and contribute to its transformation, making space the result of manifold intended and unintended changes. To mediate between different demands, interests and interventions of multiple actors, a forward-looking, evidence-based, and action-oriented planning is necessary. As guidance for future action, (spatial) planning has to be committed to the sustainable handling as well as just allocation of resources, in particular of the non-replicable resource land. The course focuses on both theoretical concepts and practice-oriented approaches to gain knowledge and be equipped to address current issues in spatial planning and development. This is mirrored in the course’s structure made of both of lectures and exercises. The lecture series introduces necessary key concepts and covers the following main topics: - Drivers of spatial development, inward development, core tasks and current challenges for (spatial) planners. - Interplay of formal and informal planning instruments across scales and actors. - Differentiation urban typologies, their characteristics and challenges - Types of spatial analysis and key figures - Planning approaches and the (political) steering of spatial development. - Types of processes and participation in spatial development. - Approaches for planning complex urban situations - Concepts for sustainable development The exercises provide a framework for practical application of the learned theoretical concepts of spatial planning to real-life situations. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
