Learning outcomes:

The course aims to ensure a solid understanding of the relationships between the objectives of sustainable development and the ways in which urban planning and design efforts contribute to their achievement. The main focus will be placed on analyzing the roles of various stakeholders involved in the planning and design processes for the transformation of space at various scales in relation to their commitment towards sustainable development. Hence, pragmatic ways in which urban planning and spatial planning documentations must respond to this challenge will become clear, in correlation with specific legal provisions.
