Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course focuses on contemporary issues that are strongly connected by functional relations at both city and regional scales. While contemporary challenges in cities also contains processes at neighbourhood level, the regional dimension provides the opportunity to integrate debates about cooperative planning and inter-municipal management practices. This course includes ex-cathedra teaching and moderated interactive sessions with elements of blended learning based on individual reading practices. A written short-paper at the end of the semester will summarize the knowledge that has been gained from lectures and readings throughout the semester.
