Learning Outcomes

Students are able to evaluate and assess planning approaches and processes critically and in a reflected manner considering socio-spatial and political-institutional settings and development trends. They have knowledge of the developments in sociospatial and politico-institutional contexts of urban and regional planning, of topics and currents in critical urban and planning research with an interdisciplinary perspective, as well as of approaches and methods of policy analysis, especially its application in urban and regional research. Furthermore, they have the skills to analyse and interpret planning approaches and processes from a socio-political perspective and to apply approaches and methods of policy analysis in urban and regional research. Predominantly taught in this module: thematic expertise 30%, methods application 30%, systems expertise 20%, social skills 20%.

Content

The module consists of contributions to a critical and reflective understanding of planning from a primarily socio-political perspective. It pursues an interdisciplinary approach which is meant to promote an exchange between urban and regional planning and urban and regional research, and in particular between planning theory and critical approaches to urban-regional and socio-spatial research, such as urban sociology, economic and political geography, political economy, as well as policy and governance research. The topics of the seminars are regularly updated with regard to current debates in planning theory and in urban and regional research. They deal with politico-economic and institutional conditions, with socio-political (power) relations and with spatial contexts of planning, with emphasis on the role of planning practises and discourses in the strategical-relational construction of socio-spatial settings.
